Following on from another thread, I got to wondering if this might be a popular thing to do - to share a cartoon from any newspaper each day?

It would give us a daily chuckle - no bad thing in these difficult times and all in one place - easy to find.

Here’s my starter.

Great stuff!

A couple of years ago, it was revealed that cartoonist Matt earns £650k p.a., which led to this doing the rounds:-

Two badly-drawn men walk past inexplicably-sited billboard which says: "£650,000 for Matt."
One of the men says: "I think I'll have the gloss...!”

That’s certainly some salary Ashcombe for Matt & a great joke about it! Here’s his Friday take on newsworthy events.

Thanks everyone. I needed that!

I was delighted when the kind people at HMRC told me my tax return was outstanding; particularly when I can't remember sending it in

Not a cartoon - and not sure if it should have gone into Poet's Corner - but it made me chuckle!

WORDSWORTH IN LOCKDOWN
I wandered lonely as a cloud,

Two metres from the madding crowd,

When all at once my name was called

To enter Waitrose hallowed hall.

This was the pensioners’ special hour

I’d gone to get a bag of flour,

But I forgot -when through the door -

What I had gone to Waitrose for ?

The Waitrose staff are extra kind

I told them it had slipped my mind,

They asked what else I had forgot

They clearly thought I’d lost the plot.

I phoned my wife again to ask

She reminded me of this special task

“I need some flour to bake a cake

With all that cream you made me take!”

“Ah yes, I recall” I had to lie,

I dared not ask what flower to buy,

But then I saw them at the tills

A bunch of golden daffodils.
