I think I drew it as a result of reading a collection of Bateman cartoons. He was so good.

Cyril Connolly (1903-1974), the English literary critic and author of Enemies of Promise (1938), doing battle with a pram in the hall, and losing.

My Sunday evening challenge: first person to post a cartoon which they drew several years ago about Cyril Connolly is the winner. 5-4-3-2-1... I WIN

weatherman Michael Fish sticking a big fuck-off rain cloud over the Lakes

Going to the Lake District at the weekend for the comic art festival. Been years since I last went so I hope I bring some good weather with me oh

I would say "not very at all."

Trump visiting Windsor castle. He stand arms apart looking surprised and outraged. The king and ‘queen’ Camilla stand next to him looking amused

Well, thank you. I'll pretend that the Yorkshirisation of his mouth was conscious and deliberate.

Beyond delighted to see the re-appearance of Mickey’s Monkey Spunk Moped in the latest @vizcomic.bsky.social Must have been at least a decade.

A rocket-powered catering van hurtling through space, piloted by 16th Century philosopher Sir Francis Bacon, former prime ministerial novelty sidekick and social media turd-polisher Nick Clegg, actor Sean Bean who was in an old episode of Morse I watched the other night, and Mr Bean.

I would buy a commemorative plate with a portrait of the first flag-baby born of that marriage. Provided it wasn't too Cronenberg.

Maybe his real death was the schadenfreude we felt along the way

'In the week after our book, The Pub, is released, it's great to see the Daily Telegraph join us in lauding that great British institution... and in such a distinctive style too.
