Nando's

"Here we see another example of the character of 'Nathan' becoming the victim of the joke. When one peruses the history of Da life, the victimisation of Nathan becomes a thematic fixture throughout the plots. This cartoon is also an example of The Baron's attempt to include corporate sponsorship within his plots (here Nando's). The motivation behind this were rumoured to be a spate of bad gambling debts incurred at the Riwaka steeplechase of '89."

Sell Outs

"Like the Nando's strip, this work offers another glimpse into the downward slide that Da life had taken into corporate 'shill-ism'. While The Baron attempted to hide the fact with his trademark irony, it was clear to all the fans that something was rotten at Da Life HQ. While this strip devoted a full third of its content to a sanitarium, the fans voted with their feet. Da Life sales plummeted and The Baron's already chronic gambling problems were exacerbated to new extremes."
