[Click on cartoon to enlarge] One of The Surreal McCoy's cartoons on show at Henley Royal Regatta 2011. The Professional Cartoonists' Organisation were invited to exhibit work in the art gallery this year and thankfully none of them disgraced themselves by falling in.Though some other race-goers were reportedly awash with Pimms and ale.
The theme was Olympic Sports this year with an added twist of Victoriana. Drawing live in the town square the cartoonists were at various times joined or assaulted by Queen Victoria and the cast of Alice in Wonderland which left them wondering exactly what kind of breakfast mushrooms were on offer at the hotel that morning.
Another cartoon for the Olympic-themed exhibition at this year's Shrewsbury International Cartoon Festival. Things kick off tomorrow with a chance to see cartoonists, including The Surreal McCoy, drawing big boards live in the town square. Full programme of events here.
