Illustration Friday - Metropolitan

Finally have found the time to get round to an illustration for this weeks topic - Metropolitan. In case you didn't know the police force in the UK are known as The Metropolitan Police (or The Met for short) - hence the inspiration for this cartoon.

What with all the amazing work the Met, and the other emergency services, have done this past week during the London bombings I thought they could use a mention too! A common (but sometimes irritating) sight in London is also the lowly pigeon, though I think the world would be a better place if this was the only nuisance they had to worry about!

  • Perhaps the pigeons could be trained to launch a counterattck.

  • I love your policeman, but I don't think I'd bother him for the time!

  • This reminds me I've been meaning to do something about my local community police officer CPO Mike Pole. I'll try to get it done tomorrow, so don't look just yet.

  • For info, only the police in London are called "the Met", there is also The City of London Police, British Transport Police and all county police are called "Constabluarys"
