My latest books cartoon for Guardian Books #bookcops

Title:
#BOOKCOPS

Panel One:
A uniformed officer approaches a man sittiong at at a bar, he is reading and has a glass of red wine:
"Sir, I have reason to believe that you are engaged in "Performative reading" in a public space."

Panel Two:
"There's been a mistake, officer! I'm perusing the menu. I'm very indecisive!" says the man anxiously

The officer says: "Perhaps I can assist, sir. I'm something of a "Foodie" myself."

Panel Three:
"No need. I've decided!" says the man looking terrified

"Let me see that!" says ther officer as he grabs the menu. "As I suspected: 'Infinite Jest' Concealed inside a fake menu!"

Panel Four:
"It's a first offence, so I'm only going to shame you on social media." says the officer "Next time I'll throw the book at you!"

The man sobs.

@tomgauld.bsky.social Way too kind for the cops. An actual cop would have grabbed him by his hair, sprayed him and have him sent in jail under the new new terrorist act.
