This piece took me a while because it was hard to work out exactly what I wanted to say. As part of the research into the event I asked a lot of people how they felt about the 99 year institution going under. I also made this short film with my mate Dean Puckett:
In the end it was yet another comment on consumerism. Read More...

I am so guilty of upgraditis. This strip touches on the insatiable fervour that our tech-crazy culture lives in. It isn't long before you begin to substitute stuff for true identity and relationships. I am sure that I am guilty of this. Read More...

Identity theft is becoming a really big deal recently. I bought a shredder at the behest of my wife and found myself in a queue at sainsbury's reading the packaging (as you do). Read More...
EN32 The Wages of Wogan

Terry Wogan earns a huge amount of money. I thought that this was well worth using because it raises the big question of 'who is worth that?'. The lovely thing about being a christian is that God places infinite value on us by giving His life for us on the cross. People with little or no self esteem can be cherished and cared for in the arms of God. Amazing.
I cheated a little here. The image comes from a set of three pictures I produced for the Brighton Festival Fringe.
Tim Bongers is the dedicatee. I did this specially for him and then the EN staff inadvertently chopped off the whole right hand side of the strip... it was made worse by me telling Tim to look for it. Sorry.

This one had something to do with reflecting on retirement issues. I think that that there may have been some pensions related stuff in the news and I wanted to handle it obliquely. I didn't really feel confident dealing with it head-on but this taps into the general idea of what you are ultimately basing your security and hopes on. I think that the Bible text (above) is the best explanation here, so I won't waste my shallow breath.
Occasionally I have departed from the regular format and gone for something almost parentless. The main idea is to establish the window discussion before revealling their ultimate fate and blindness to the impending hit.
I really dislike bowling and when I go I usually look for some creative way to avoid actually playing it - like writing stupid things on the scorecard, or throwing in the most anti-competitive way possible. Once I went to a place that had a speedometer display so I was overjoyed to be aiming for the slowest throw ever. It was hilarious. I find bowling alleys very depressing because they usually have unhealthy food. I don't like the shoes either...
