The Bible epilogue text can be found here.
This is an interview I recently put together with an ex-student who has become a really good mate. It is really exciting that he won the Best British Doc at the London Independent Film Festival at the NFT a few weeks ago. I did a skype call to explore some of the making ideas.

While evidence and argument will never 'prove' it in the way that you might work out my DNA using scientific analysis, there is a substantial and reassuring amount of evidence that accompanies the outrageous claims of Jesus Christ. The aim of this strip is to turn the tables and highlight the regular conclusion (in my experience) that prejudice and narrow mindedness often keep people from becoming convinced by christian truth.
The letter Y is a key player in this strip, and it follows a strong symmetry which I really enjoyed using. The afro character is loosely based on myself as my dad, who had a magnificent one in the 1970s.
