About the work

This cartoon appeared in the Evening Standard on 16 September 2004, and is artist Marf's take on the current news story. As she describes it: 'Pro-hunt protestors storm the House of Commons in an extraordinary breach of security; the passion of the pro-hunt activists comes as a shock to a government which, while largely indifferent to countryside issues, is determined to ban fox hunting.'

'Marf' drew daily topical cartoons for the Evening Standard between March 2002 and August 2005, moving to the Londoner's Diary page in August 2003. The drawings cover key political and social issues of the period, providing a vivid and often hilarious response to the main news of the day. The Evening Standard is London's only evening newspaper, publishing up to five editions a day. In Marf's own words: 'The cartoonist needs to keep up with the rapid pace of event.'
