Thank you for visiting Upfront! 24 hours news, the internet and cheap foreign travel mean that we're all becoming increasingly aware of international events. Today we flick through from devastating floods in Mozambique, war in Chechnya, elections in Iran, Kofi Annan in East Timor, negotiations at Stormont, to ethnic clashes in Kosovo, all live and on demand. There's no getting away from it - globalisation is now the catchword in finance, health, ecology, security and of course the media. Upfront is a dynamic new daily cartoon strip designed to address this changing perspective and the issues it confronts us with. Character driven, the story starts with two recent history graduates, Tom and Susan, as they set off on a trip to India and uses their independent backpacking holiday as a springboard into the global world of tourism, international trade, regional conflicts, overseas aid etc. The Story Sample Episodes The Characters What's already been said about Upfront Format About Luke Warm Intended Readership Contact Details Click on the Upfront logo at the top of any page to return to this Home Page NB.
