The Really Heavy Greactcoat
is a long-running cartoon strip which ace artist Nick Miller and I
created years ago and published in alternative Lancaster magazine On The Beat and Off the Beat and, later, on virtual-lancaster.
Just occasionally, Nick (who’s constantly busy on
numerous projects) teases us all with a new and topical episode.

It puts me in mind of an old Ken Pyne cartoon in Private Eye a couple of years ago.
Pictured in Regency style is a laughing Rupert Murdoch with his britches down around his knees and a sunny radiance emanating from his buttcleft, in which a smaller David Cameron gleefully basks. Caption: "Mr Cameron Rejoices in the Knowledge that the Sun is Shining on him".
How times change.
