My cartoon for the books page in this week’s @theguardian.com
Title: Where writers really get their ideas. A writer, holding a note in his outstretched hand approaches a cart in the park. The front of the cart reads 'Fresh ideas' and a colourful umbrella shades the server who is reaching deep into the body of the cart (much as an ice-cream vendor might) and saying: "I'm all out of mind-blowing concepts and heart-rending narratives, but I've got an acerbic observation, an unexpected outcome and a couple of amusing notions."

Ett befäl gav oss två pubtips, båda visade sig vara mycket bra.
