There's a nice posting up on the Absolute Press website, who are publishing a book of our food cartoons in September. Also, throughout that month we have an exhibition at King's Place, London, the home of the Guardian. Very excited to announce that Roger the pig has agreed to make a personal appearance for the duration of the show … More details soon! PW
Toyed with this one for a while – particularly with a military feel, the lunchbox being a tour of duty that the apple constantly returned from, traumatised by seeing his friends eaten, and by the guilt of his own survival. But that wouldn't have allowed Joe to draw a banana looking casual. How does he do that stuff? Amazes me every time. PW
I'm sure when my dad did this to me he pretended my food was a train – the 18.35 service from Hull, calling at my head. But then of course cheap air travel arrived, and it was much quicker just to fly the food in PW
Sorry about the headline. But for years I have waited, like a sniggering child, to use that line for something. Pathetic. PW
We're excited to announce that in September a book of our food cartoons will be published by Absolute Press. More details to follow, but there's an announcement here. We're also planning an exhibition at the Guardian's home, King's Place, around the time of the book launch.
Alright, I admit, there's no nudity; it's mostly a blatant attempt to get attention – though I think "in the nude" counts as Cockney rhyming slang for food. Definitely a trip to Sillytown Heights this week, and a record number of "I don't get it" responses. The one thing stopping me slipping on the banana skin of despair is the one person who admitted to finding it funny enough to make tea come out of her nose. Here we also see the classic Joe Berger technique of having a hand flying in from the side, shoving something in someone's face …
I've just noticed that's another "Ooh lovely" as well. Good that we're consistently bewildering. PW
