There's a new fly in the ointment.

Time Magazine had a recent article entitled "Is Liberal Catholicism Dead?".

I think just asking the question gives one the answer. Here's what one says:

"For a couple of generations, progressivism was an [important] way to be Catholic."
Then he adds, "But I think the end of an era is here."

We can only hope.

Memorial Day

Amidst the cookouts and fun, let's not forget all those who've given their lives to keep us free.

The fight against Latin continues...

Some dioceses actually care about rebuilding Catholic identity. Some, like San Diego, look to erect more and more roadblocks to this restoration. Read all about San Diego's shenanigans over at Father Z's blog:

Steve Bright takes over drawing a Dandy comic library

Jimmy Glen


Peter Davidson


Steve Brights Desperate Dan

Heres an unusual comic library.
A comic artist starts drawing the first couple of pages... then for some reason stops..then the new artist finishes it off. Steve Bright is the artist who did the honour. Though they don't blend together at all its fun to read and see.

Peter, thanks for doing that - it hasn't improved any with age! the initial pages were drawn by Peter Davidson ('The Broons' and 'Oor Wullie' artist), and I had forgotten that the cover was done by DCT staff artist, Jimmy Glen. I can't recall why Peter couldn't complete the library, nor indeed why Jimmy did the cover at a time when I was doing many of the covers for the other libraries (perhaps Ian had decided I'd made enough of a pig's ear of the inside pages). So it's a bit of an oddity all round. -Steve Bright

Drawing a comic with Dado in 1987 at the age of 14

8th March 1987.























Pop Cron is how I wanted to spell it.....maybe Pop corn would've been better...





















I drew many comics with Dado. Meteor is from the comic Dad drew as a teen in the fifties. Probably inspired by the Eagle comic. Harris Tweed Detective was in Eagle at the time, Dad had come up with his own version Henry Bend Brain Detective...which he drew a new adventure here in 1987. Of course I was inspired by Nutty and The Beano. Jack is inspired from Nuttys Tweet William. St Mustard kids (Bash Street) Bonzo (Sparkys Barney Bull dog...even at that time I liked old comics).

Every Dad should draw cartoons and comics with there sons.

My Dado's super paintings

My Dad a great cartoonist and painter. So much imagination, variety of styles and humour. Check out more of his paintings at his website.

Robin Gray
25th July 1939- 17th May 2008.


He was a Graphic Designer all his life. Drawing many adverts for lots of different graphic design companies. His favourite one he worked for was British Aerospace. Everything was done without computers in those days...so lots of hand lettering, cutting and pasting with a craft knife. Also he used many styles to do the job.

He was a cartoonist as well which is where I get my talent from. Its in the blood. Loved drawing comics with him as a kid.
