Moving a cartoon from the North Pole to Boulders

Gavin Thomson shares the thought process behind the creation of his latest cartoon.

First he had the cartoon set in the North Pole, with Bafana Bafana supporting Eskimos and penguins.   "I liked the original idea because of the ridiculousness of someone going all that way out there to nick a pair of mirror socks.... that and the idea that an Eskimo would have them in the first place".

But he decided to move the set closer to home, Boulders, Simon's Town in fact. (MOUSE OVER THE CARTOON TO SEE THE REVISED VERSION).

Typical of most cartoonists, Gavin then doubted whether he had made the right decision. We think he did.
