Cartoonist John Elson casts his eye over the week's news

It's the story everyone has been talking about this week – and Bury Free Press cartoonist John Elson is no exception.

For his cartoon this week, John has, of course, focused on the hot weather.

Here's his take on the story:

John, a self-taught artist, has been drawing cartoons for newspapers for nearly 20 years.

He draws the cartoons digitally using a stylus and large art tablet. His cartoon today is sponsored by specialist insurers The Assist Group.

He also attends festivals, weddings and corporate events drawing live caricatures.
