Cartoons

I'm updating this section week by week so that the comic strips are posted around a month after they've been published in The National.

I started doing indyref cartoons (Scotland’s independence referendum, September 2014) in 2012 following a piece of advice from Scotland On Sunday’s Kenny Farquharson. “More political art, less political writing. We have a glut of the latter and a dearth of the former.” It was the only time I ever paid attention to anything he said.

The strips helped bring a bit of colour to the place. They’re not exactly art, but then, Scotland On Sunday’s not exactly journalism.
