Cartoonists: Don’t forget that tomorrow is Small Child Saluting Day. Be sure to submit your cartoons of small children saluting before it’s too late!There will always be an EnglandI’ve always like Charlie, except for that arranged-marriage thing, which was worse than having to make the King’s Speech to open Parliament each year, though at least […]
I saw the first corgi cartoon on the funny pages today, so I guess that tells us the time lag and, no, I’m not going to feature it here.But I will feature Martin Rowson’s farewell to the topic, which only has two corgis, which is quite a few less than you would get in corgi […]
