It’s amazing to think Matt’s been doing this the thick end of thirty years. I still remember his ‘Checkout Charlie’ cartoon from around the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which was quite a while ago.
Matt’s always been worth the price of the Telegraph.

Vaz is not an expert: he’ll spurt again.

The Times’ cartoon on Vaz is amusing too.
The Vazeline story will, I do hope, run and run.
The Alex cartoon in the Telegraph is good, too.
