(Thelwell… (apologies))

Dear readers, as sub editor to esquire magazine I have often had the occasion to augment our motoring editors column, (Quantam Dumpster) with a Thelwell illustration… It has been a popular tradition, and well received from readers wives in particular… However, I have spoken to our art department and they believe in principle that as Passive Complicity is an innovative satirical magazine, and we should, (at the very least) deliver our own cartoons and illustration whenever possible rather than open the gates to ” yesterdays” commentary… Although I sense this is a cruel and cynical ploy from the art director, but though his petulance and flights of narcissistic self are well known, we have decided to give him some rein, if he can deliver appropriate material before our 8.00 pm deadline…

To this effect we have granted him some  leeway….

Publisher’s Note: He did.  We received it with this note.
