One of the joys of his drawings is even though I consider myself quite knowledgeable on the north, 95% of the time I have not the slightest clue what these cartoons mean-this one included. But they're entertaining to look at nonetheless.
Every one a gem Brian, Norman Wisdom in heaven meets St Peter who asks him "name?" Norman replies "its me Norman" "well what do you do?"Peter asks "I make people laugh by stumbling around making mistakes,and I was well paid for it" Peter shouts "Hey God are we expecting any Liverpool players in today?"!!

The many faces of PSF with their own distorted version of peace for all with the exception of those republicans who do not agree with them ironically they sound more cartoonish waging their private war against republicanism. St. Paul had a similar transformation on the road to Damascus St. Gerry had a wee problem as he took the road to America or the long way round on the road to an united Ireland.
