Synopsis
Cartoonists (including the likes of Peter Maddocks, Willie Rushton, Humphrey Lyttelton and Bill Tidy, when he wasn't hosting) were asked to draw cartoons on a given subject, often involving puns. For example, asked to draw a song title, Rushton once drew a woman with warts all over her face - representing "Waltzing Matilda", i.e. "warts on Matilda". Well, you probably had to be there.
