Hah. Love this. You're so good at these cartoons. You should be doing political ones for the papers?

Thanks Squib. The thing about these cartoons is that I don't have to come up with an idea, or even an angle, really. It's just stuff that happens. If I was doing "proper" cartoons, I reckon I'd need a partner to bounce ideas off.

I don't think you would. Take the whole Trump thing. He's like a caricature of a caricature!
