This was sparked off by a discussion on the Today programme. One of those light-hearted conversations just before 9am. The interviewer said 'tell us something to cheer us up' and there was a long silence before everyone laughed. A lovely moment that I have stolen.
Struggling for a punchline, I checked out some 'universal cartoon captions' which are a thing with the New Yorker. As soon as I saw 'Well this is awkward' I knew it was the one.
What's more fun than a cuddle with a woolly critter?
Try completing a puzzle online - they have just the right number of pieces for a coffee-break challenge and you gradually reveal the cartoon.
If you like Yvonne then the good news is that you can support the author, buy the image to keep and avail yourself of some really useful kit, such as mugs, bags, coasters, mouse mats, postcards, greetings cards, even posters and prints.
Don't see the item you'd like with the cartoon you'd like? Just email me, I'll be happy to arrange it for you.
