The strip, panel by panel
1. BAD TASTE — Cormac #21. (A bearded old man:) "Yes — the grandson took me to see the Tom Robinson Band — and did we enjoy it?"
2. (The grandson:) "Did we?! Too right we did! Cracker! Magic!"
3. "But at the door a sheet of paper was stuck into my hand — Tom Robinson Band Bulletin No. 12 — and I read the attitudes of the support band — Stiff Little Fingers — it said 'Stuff all your armies — Brit/UDA/IRA — we don't wanna know'."
4. "He objects to those who equate the army of imperialism and the loyalist thugs with the Provos." Grandson: "Also I thought their music was rubbish!" (A scroll:) "But we liked the Tom Robinson Band."
