An Independent Christmas

In between this year's festivities, I have been covering the editorial slot for Dave Brown at The Independent. Here's a drawing for the 27th, a generic, where are we at the turn-of-year-image.



I was drawing this at about 2pm on Boxing Day when the news broke about the refusal of Saddam Hussein's final appeal and his impending execution.

The breaking news meant drawing a quick response, which is shown below. It'll be interesting to see which, if either, makes the paper.

Which one made it, Matt?

Joy. How excellent to come back to the country and find that the Indy had found a proper stand-in for Dave Brown! The cartoon that made it into the paper, was most definitely the best one. Really clever.
Good times.

Thanks, the top one went in - first one ever, so I guess I can retire now?
