Hi Matt!
Mick Ward’s cartoon does it for me. Its simplicity is incredible and the fact that it’s beautifully drawn in the space allowed is brilliant. Mick you get 5 gold stars from me. Greg Kogan’s tip was a great reminder about professionalism and that it can start from a simple thing like what bloomers (or shirt) you put on to work in.
Good luck, eberyone!

For sheer comic impact, I’d say Dale Wilkins. Made me laugh, and still does.
At the risk of this seeming like quid pro quo, I really like Dan Duhrkoop’s cartoon. It’s a gorgeous little work of art. Mick Ward’s tip is very good advice.
