    What does it say exactly on the chest? I read "The _____________ Pratchett". Any idea what the middle word is?

    If it helps here is a slightly larger section of the comic.

    I thought it looked like 'Ambient' at first but I'm not sure.

    I thought it said Amazing.

    Well, that would make a lot more sense.

    Here's a larger view if it's any more help. I can't enlarge it any further without losing detail - I haven't got technology like CSI :)
    It still looks like the mystery word ends in 'nt' or 'mt' to me.
    Or is it just a case of bad hand-writing?

    As it's a "battle circus", I'd guess "amazing".

    It looks very clearly like 'AMAZING' to me on that enlargement.

    That green guy looks like your avatar. And I've heard of the couplet on the sign he holds up. It's in a fantasy short story book which also has a Pratchett story called Troll Bridge with a much more intelligent Cohen in it.

    That's an interesting one to debate! I'm not convinced that Cohen is generally as stupid as he appears to be.

    Cohen reminds me a bit of Ridcully, "wooden-headed stupidity combined with distressing insight."
