News is all around us.<br />
Newspapers, 24-hour rolling<br />
news, radio, and of course<br />
the internet. The medium of<br />
delivery may change, but as<br />
human beings we have an insatiable<br />
desire to know what is happening,<br />
whether that be in Woodseats,<br />
Wembley or the White House.<br />
But for me, the best way to cover the<br />
news is cartoons.<br />
Mel Calman (who drew the Times<br />
front page cartoon) was once at a party<br />
when a woman said to him: “So what<br />
do you do?” He answered that he was a<br />
cartoonist. The woman smiled, thought<br />
for a moment and then said: “So what<br />
else do you do?”<br />
It’s a story that always makes<br />
me smile. But it also raises a good<br />
question: what does a newspaper<br />
cartoonist do? The simple answer is<br />
he or she illustrates the news. In my<br />
case, that means drawing a daily news<br />
cartoon for the Sheffield Star, a weekly<br />
sketch for the Telegraph, and then a<br />
variety of magazines such as Private<br />
Eye.<br />
Every morning I wake up and stare at<br />
a blank piece of paper. I know there’s a<br />
space waiting to be filled in tomorrow’s<br />
paper, but I have no idea what I am<br />
going to do until I open the newspapers<br />
and turn on the radio. Luckily for me,<br />
there’s always news.<br />
