My cartoon for the @GuardianBooks autumn reading special.
A beautiful, smiling pile of new books labelled "New Books for Autumn" innocently attracts the attentions of a young man. Beside him, his pile of books (labelled "Unfinished Summer Reading") notices this and scowls at him. The image is a cartoon pastiche of the ‘distracted boyfriend’ meme.
