The scan: sc-no235.pdf (PDF, Marxists Internet Archive, opens at this page)
This text was corrected by hand against the scan: the strip at the foot of page 10, which the machine reading did not see; image taken from the scan and its lettering transcribed (18 Oct 2026). One of Cormac's Bad Taste strips: on his bike. Note: the year-number beside the signature is blurred in the scan (1982); the last panel is captioned "Backdrop borrowed from 'Last of the Summer Wine'".
Cormac, "Bad Taste" (number not legible), Socialist Challenge no. 235, 4 March 1982, page 10. From the Marxists Internet Archive scan.
The strip, panel by panel
1. BAD TASTE — Cormac [number illegible]. "A bike! A bike! A dingdong for my bike!"
2. "When Dad was but a slip of a lad during the Great Depression he would leap on his bike every morning and ride about 50 miles!"
3. "Often he would meet skinhead Tebbit's old man and they would discuss the possibility of a right-wing split from the Labour Party ...."
4. "Dad is now one of the oldest members of the SDP ..." "He always was a union-hating, blacklegging old bastard!" (Caption: "Backdrop borrowed from 'Last of the Summer Wine'".)
