Laughter and music has been ringing out on the streets of Shrewsbury today as the cartoon festival gets into full swing.
The market square has been abuzz with crowds who have come to see the cartoonists producing Big Boards, caricatures and “reverse” caricatures, with live bonus as an added bonus.
Political cartoonist Martin Rowson didn’t let a power failure at Birmingham New Street prevent him from attending the festival. He made one taxi driver very happy by getting a cab all the way to Shrewsbury. He gave a talk entitled Giving Offence: The Greatest Gift, the festival’s sole non family-friendly offering.
You can see lots more pictures, taken and tweeted throughout the day, at the Bloghorn Twitter feed.
