My father (Ben Collins) who worked for Reed Paper Mills in Kent took a copy into work, they had a representative from the Daily Mirror come in who liked it and also took a copy back. This was one of many cartoons that I used to do.

I used Michael Bentine's book of cartoon drawings to get the idea for the figures and drew it with the wording on. I was working for a company (Lee Mark Elenka in Aylesford ) in 1978 that had a problem with clients wanting deliver on items before we'd even received them. I did the original one that was coped, copied and then re-drawn by Henry Syverson. I can clear up the origin of that cartoon for you. But a lot of cartoonists agree that it's Henry Syverson.And Mark Evanier provides the post mortem proof here.Ībove: a Henry Syverson illustration from the MaSaturday Evening Post.įor your consideration: Here is Anna Collins, who says she drew the original in 1978 that Syverson later copied: Most of my colleagues don't know where it came from.
