Norman Lindsay Cartoon Competition
I entered this in a Norman Lindsay cartoon competition put on by the Norman Lindsay gallery in Faulconbridge. Norman Lindsay, for all you yanks reading this, was an Australian artist/painter/cartoonist/novelist famed for a) his fabulous artwork and b) his attitude toward wowsers (religious and other killjoys who were anti sex, anti nudity, anti art, anti whatever)
He's always been a big hero of mine. If he were alive today he'd be shocked at how repressive our society has become.
Anyway this cartoon portrays the good citizens of Faulconbridge being cuckolded by their wives with a few hairy looking satyrs. Lindsay's work often contained satyrs and nudity and so on.
Needless to say i didn't win.
