A friend once asked me to draw a penguin for him. He sent me a picture for reference and I duly scribbled out the penguin according to the photograph and sent it back to him as an e-mail attachment.

The Penguin Drawing, 1995

A few days later my drawing materialised on my friend’s shoulder. I received the photo attached to an e-mail.

I am really glad that someone’s carrying a cartoon of mine on his shoulder. As far as I know, he’s still doing well.
