We're running a competition on the London Cartoon Festival site for non-cartoonists to come up with topical cartoon ideas. Then I draw up the cartoon for them. Here's the first one, from an idea by @farctum on Twitter.
It's just what we could imagine Simon Cowell saying to the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on his TV show Britain's Got Talent. I was well chuffed when I saw that this idea was produced a couple of days ahead of the Peter Brookes cartoon which appeared in the Saturday edition of The Times, showing Gordon Brown as the singer who nearly won, Susan Boyle – an idea which occurred to me after I delivered this to Penelope for publication!
