There's No One Quite Like Grandma

Tonight I have been attending the launch of Boyling Point 2 celebrating the works of Evenings news Cartoonist Frank Boyle.

Frank's cartoons are always perceptive and really funny. He is the best political cartoonists in Scotland by a mile. 

Frank told of how he grew up with Giles annuals as a kid and that drew out his interest in becoming a cartoonist. I suggested to him later that he might like to draw Council Leader Jenny Dawe as Grandma Giles. She was not amused. I fear a career as Trams spokesperson beckons!!!

As Frank was speaking the various original cartoons sequentially fell off the stand behind him. First to go was the one of the Tory Blue Bus going over a cliff. It was quickly followed by Alex Salmond semi nude with a saltire blanket over him a-la Sally Berkow! Then a couple featuring Labour and lesser Nationalist politicians slipped off leaving Willie Rennie's caricature as the last man standing. I wonder if this is an omen!
