WHEN we asked Martin Rowson to provide a quote for this review, he just saw red.
“Lorna Miller is a scandal,” he seethed, “That is, it’s a scandal that a cartoonist so skilled, lethal, funny and furious is not being published daily everywhere. That our national newspaper cartoon slots remain logjammed by old white men (myself included) instead of showcasing her brilliance is the greatest indictment of the Main Stream Media I can think of.”
