being furloughed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the firm folding a couple of months later. Ivan Jelical – an evangelistic fundamentalist Christian whose proselytising is spectacularly unsuccessful. He is only ever happy when he is God-bothering, "comforting" grieving widows with descriptions of their husbands' (supposed) sufferings in Hell, and getting himself beaten-up in the process. On one occasion, after failing to convert a single person all day he hung himself (though this didn't stop him reappearing alive in a new strip a few months later). He (and his fellow evangelists) are often portrayed with 'spinning' eyes, a display of their unawareness of the real world. Ivor the Skiver – "His dad's a bad driver". One-off strip in which a boy begs his father for a lift as he is too lazy to walk to school.

Jack Black and his dog Silver – a young amateur detective staying with his Aunt Meg on an eternal school holiday. Often gets well-meaning people, who have done nothing wrong, arrested (or worse) on a minor technicality or obscure law for his own benefit, sometimes with another awful crime being committed right under his nose which he completely fails to notice.

As the strip has progressed, Jack has been increasingly portrayed as a racist and a xenophobe among other major faults. Jack's adventures are regularly drawn in the style of other comics (such as Tintin or Asterix), taking place in other countries (such as a manga-style strip relocating the action to Tokyo) and even in different time periods (including the Victorian era, the French Revolution, the Future Space Era and the Stone Age). Jack in the Box – A strip about the titular character who sets about doing cardboard box related pranks, only to be involved in a car accident. Jasper the Gasper – A homeless man who is desperate for a cigarette. Jamie Bond 007 – A child parody of James Bond. Rather than go with the plot that Jamie is just a regular child who is delusional about
