A tribute to the wonderful cartoonist #JohnJensen here; procartoonists.org/john-jens… … @procartoonists @BritishCartoonA @kaltoons @PunchBooks @Cartoonmuseumuk @CartoonistsGB #cartoonist #cartoons

Brilliant cartoon by the late John Jensen still as relevant and funny today as when he did it in 1970. Done in response to a cartoon by JAK which is in the museum's collection. This though part of the @BritishCartoonA 's collection. Rewards close reading
