Save our cartoons? Oh, okay then.

A few days ago Funny.co.uk reported that The Sun newspaper was to drop traditional 'Single-Frame' cartoon captions from it's pages.  We published an open letter from top cartoonist Nigel Sutherland (whose work features in several British tabloids), asking the editor to reconsider this decision. 

Well, no sooner had we done this when the Sun announced to us that the cartoons are to return as of next week.  We imagine the last Sun board meeting went something like this:

Editor:  Item one on the agenda - Dropping cartoons from our pages.  All in favour say Aye.

All:  Aye!

Editor:  Ok.  Passed.  Now, items two on the agenda - Restore cartoon to our pages. All in favour say aye.

All:  Aye!

Editor:  Ok decision passed. Now, item three, is there any way we can get three breasts onto Page 3 rather than the traditional two?  anyone?

 

So problem solved.  Next week, Funny.co.uk solves The National Debt problem and the complex Palestinian Conflict issues in Gaza and the West Bank.
