Cartoon: Free Trade Is For Peasants, Not Cartoonists!

There’s something bizarrely fun about drawing myself as a cliche of a wealthy man. Although at the same time I was drawing this cartoon, I was also working on a still-to-come cartoon which also involves lots and lots of panels … Continue reading
