The comic 2000AD, creators of Judge Dredd, introduces its new star attraction in its current issue. Known as B.L.A.I.R.1, the cartoon hero sees off his enemies and solves the problems of unemployment.
His task in the comic is to rescue a mother and child who are being held hostage in a mineshaft by former Conservative MPs. He elbows former MP David Mellor in the mouth, punches Neil Hamilton for offering a fistful of fivers, and tackles a crazed Edwina Currie, who is holding a gun to the young mother's head.
"What do I do, Dr Spin?" he asks his manipulator. "Smile, smile, smile," the answer comes back.
"No! Not the grin!" Edwina Currie screams. "I can't BEAR it!"
Leading the mother and child to safety, he asks the mother why she is not at work. Then a stroke of genius ... send single parents down the mines.
Future episodes of the cartoon are to include Home Secretary Jack Straw, to be known as Judge Straw, who will introduce a 'one strike and you're out' policy. Tory leader William Hague will also feature, but with a demonic '666' tattoo on his head.
David Bishop, editor of 2000AD said Mr Blair had a "manic grin and Bambi quality that makes you want to have a go". But he said Downing Street had been delighted with a draft copy he had sent them.
