I spent much of the weekend trying to come up with an idea for a cartoon. For over two years now, I have been posting a cartoon on social media every Monday morning – the best of which appear eventually on this website. (You may have noticed the addition of a Cartoons section.) I usually have a couple in reserve – “evergreens” invariably featuring disgruntled writers – but I thought that recent events demanded one that was topical. But not TOO topical (read: political).
Yesterday morning an idea came to me and I immediately sat down at the drawing board in my office. Half an hour later I had a cartoon whose execution I thought – even though I’m not a great drawer – did justice to the idea, which was based on a controversial decision.
It’s set at Wimbledon, which starts today.
