Four-panel cartoon strip: a big-nosed figure is told that Blair Peach and Jimmy Kelly were murdered, waves aside a worm's question about charges, and is told by a companion that the R.U.C. and U.D.R. could teach a higher body count. — Cormac, "Notes", Socialist Challenge no. 120, 1 November 1979, page 14, across the head of the letters page. From the Marxists Internet Archive scan.
