While this may have very little impact to readers of this site, I post it nonetheless on the grounds that it has nothing to do with the Mohammad cartoon contoversy. With that admission, here is the story. Enjoy.

London’s first cartoon museum, with 3,000 books and 1,200 images, covers three centuries, from Georgian Rowlandson watercolours of ancient bawds selling off country maids to wrinkled rakes, to scurrilous suggestions so recent that the ink is barely dry, teasing out the tangled affairs of Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and George Bush.
