'Another Fine Mess!' was created as a sequel to 'Crisis? What Crisis?'. Orr said of the piece: "The feeling I had through the year of Covid was that each day brought some new near disaster. I started drawing after looking again at the film clips of Laurel and Hardy getting into a car which totters, then completely disintegrates into a cloud of grey dust leaving our heroes unharmed, perplexed and bemused. The world around Laurel and Hardy is very fragile and yet they pass through it unscathed and only slightly ruffled. This is optimistic. Whatever the world throws at you, you can survive."
