Hawker’s Pot seeks to entertain, but only because he can no longer remember what he came here for in the first place.

No Hoper, No Shopper
While you were boring all around you with your exhausting bonhomie, a terrible anomie has descended on Clive. It extends even to getting the shopping. In the grocery aisle, Leon asks him “Did you write down what we need?” “No,” he replies listlessly.
Bill Jones is a cartoonist, illustrator and writer. His cartoons have appeared in Private Eye. His first book, an illustrated novel of puns called The Life and Times of Algernon Swift, was published by Head of Zeus in 2017 and well reviewed in the TLS ("sheer relentless glee") and The Big Issue ("a complete joy"). He also performs stand-up as Miserable Malcolm, Gloucestershire's gloomiest poet.
