With a distinct nod to the events of the last week, lets tip our hats to the wonder of cartoonists and how they express humour and freedom. Feel free to post your favourite cartoonists and whatever watch happens to be on your wrist.
On my wrist right now is one that came back from Geneva from service....so giving it some decent wrist time.
As for cartoonists, I am going with two...Edward Monkton and Gary Larson
