PoleWatch: Phil Hall on getting lost in Poland

For some reason, I could say unknown, but the wife and several friends would disagree, I thought that maybe I could get back to the Convention centre by going diagonally; cutting across the grid system and walking down and jumping across a block every 10 blocks. Had I not been told less than 5 minutes before hand that the convention centre was 100 yards behind the hotel? Yep, I sure had, but by 11.50, I was completely and utterly lost and to add insult to injury, I had sweat so much that my undergarments, shirt and jumper were wringing wet.

"There are boundaries in terms of taste and decency and legal matters, but beyond that there aren't really any boundaries in what you can do in any artistic format, you're only limited by yourself and the popular consensus"

ConflictWatch: Now I love a good conflict if interest, I embody plenty. But I always like to make those conflicts as clear as possible. If I remember, that is.

Sadly they neglected to mention the comic was edited by Ben McCool, the beau of Beat writer Heidi McDonald…
