Oh Alan! If only you had stopped off at your local BP and filled up! Could have picked up a copy of the Telegraph and a pork pie while you were at it as well. It is a long journey after all. It might be wise to say at this point that the views contained in this comic are not those of the author. If you detect some sort of bias then take that as you want but I reccomend that if you do take it, you take it with a good pinch of salt. What this page does throw up is an interesting question about traditional religious education regardless of the creed. My view is that if controlled correctly, religious schools be they Christian, Islamic or Jewish can be a moderate force for good.
I will make the point to those all too willing to start ranting about Madrassa being schools of extremism is that one reason why Ireland has had such a fractured and tortured couple of recent centuries has been the embedding of sectarianism and extremism into society by forcing children to go to school on the lines of their religion and not on the basis of ability. Religious schools are probably the worst thing to happen to Northern Ireland and the best way of killing sectarianism and extremism in my mind is to bring them under heavy restrictions and supervision. If that means familes there have to hold their noses and send their kids to a secular school rather than to their precious Catholic or Protestant schools then they should learn to share and play nice.
Well, while Kathy stews and Alan flails around at this debacle, I’m here to tell you that the last few days have been pretty busy and on the whole pretty good for me. I’m in good health, England are on top in the 2nd test and I enjoyed cocktails on Friday night with Alex. Splendid stuff I must say. But, a new week in this lovely summer heralds one thing and one thing only: a new page for Hard Graft!
As you might have noticed, Issue two is progressing rather well but as always, if you have any questions and comments, please please send them in.

God here we go, her Sarah Connor moment is up and what does she do? Go all Paris Hilton on poor Alan. She is a very needy sort of girl and I’m going to make absolutely no apologies for that as after all, when the bullets are flying and the rocks are exploding we are all only human. Not that I’m lecturing, I’d do the good Max Hastings/Harry Flashman thing and run a mile, maybe three, in the opposite direction and distribute my bowels along the way.
Okay, I believe there may be an error with this page so check back tomorrow as there may be an updated one. Keep an eye on your RSS feeds.
Also, check down below, I’m a Geek and I’d love to share something with you!
ANNOUNCEMENT: Comic updating only once a week. Friday will have a sketch & script.
Had to come sooner or later. This was initially what we wanted to do but went for the twice a week updates to drum up interest. Sadly, the buffer, like that on your Nokia Internet Radio app on your mobile, is running out and we need to preserve it so we don’t end up running out before issue 2 is done and end up looking rather silly.
So, here is the schedule:
- Monday: new page.
- Wednesday: me doodling
- Friday: Sketch & Script.
This inevitably means an end to regular incentive updates to the topwebcomics vote-o-matic. I’ll keep the button up because I feel that if people really do like the comic, they’ll like it enough to put a vote in.
Anyway, hope you enjoy this week’s comic, see you Friday for script & sketch!
