    Thanks, Dave. Wonderful.
    Presumably you rounded up ‘two thirds’ to 66.7% in order to avoid the number of the beast…

  4. Chris Clark says:

    As usual brilliant Dave. I think we should all volunteer to drive to Essex to do your chores for you to keep the amusimg but perceptive drawings coming.

    I note that the Roman Catholic Church has different types of mitres for the Pope (Thats the Bishop of Rome), Cardinals, and common or garden Bishops.

    I think it would help if you used a similar scheme to identify the players in Tanzania.

    Please just let your chores go….Must. have. more. DW. cartoons…

    This is the only website I’ve read having to do with Dar etc salaam
    which a) made perfect sense, b) thoroughly covered the topic at hand, and c) put it in its rightful place.

    I believe this must be exactly how God views the proceedings.

  15. ginny says:

    Excellent synopsis - funny AND useful, as the series of cartoons can be shown to someone like my husband to explain the situation much more clearly than I can.

  16. Tim says:

    Is it just me, or do they all look like members of the Ku Klux Klan?

  17. Moyra says:

    Thanks for the cartoons… you’re doing better than anyone at getting it all to make sense to me!well, in the “this is what is going on kind of making” sense…

  18. Donna says:

    speaking of the Primates meeting always makes me think of a bunch of chimps — in this case a lot more chumps

  19. Chris says:

    Thank you,Dave!

    Methinks I hear the sound of nails being hit squarely on their heads!!

    [Given that “all have sinned and fallen short…”, I reckon 66.7% is a good effort ;-) ]
