"But is it Art?" by PCOer Nathan Ariss – another contribution to Bloghorn's sneak preview of a major exhibition which opens in less than a month's time and is part of this year's Shrewsbury Cartoon Festival.
In other news, PCOer Clive Collins, a previous cartoonist of the month here, alerts us to a one-off event at the Barbican centre in central London where former Punch cartoonist and Oscar winner Bruce Petty is showing his film called Global Haywire. Clive describes Australian Bruce's work as in the "zany, big explosive cartoons vein". Sounds good to us. You can find out more about Petty's film here.
