Well, I wouldn't know of this particular comic, but I'm sure he's fine. The only thing I fail to understand about british comics is their tendancy to namedrop the names of british officials rather than display a satirical view towards their actions. While we would make endless jokes about Gee Dubya choking on a pretzel, a british joke along the same lines would be along the lines of "Name somebody who has a chicken coop in his back yard," and the response would be some name I never heard of like "Dendrich Fitzgerald." Other than that, I am very endeered with british comics, including Dame Edna, Eddie Izzard and the Pythons.
