I've been sorting through the strips and economic slumps are a major theme, starting with the obvious no future, Thatcherite, Two Tone era. The ghost town theme is  deja vu all over again and recession is back and its bigger than ever. Pete Brown in the late 1960's made an album called "The Art School Dance Goes on For Ever". Well, the dance came to an end with the introduction of modules. You can only dance on your own in a module.

Has anything changed? Slumps, strikes, cuts, erk alors!
