Metro cartoonist Guy Venables scoops award for his witty sketches Metro’s cartoonist Guy Venables has received heaps of praise as he claimed the coveted crown of Pocket Cartoon Series of the Year.
The seasoned satirist had his first cartoon published in Punch when he was just 15 (only a few years ago) and works not only for Metro, but has had his work published in Private Eye, The Spectator, The New Yorker.
The talented scribbler ended fellow cartoonist Matt Pritchett ‘s 11-year winning streak and was praised for his sketches by judges at the Professional Cartoonists Awards in London last night.
His Pocket Cartoon series award takes in all his drawings over the last year, with his clever takes on both local and national topics.
‘We are all thrilled that Guy has been honoured, knocking the highly acclaimed Matt off his cartoon perch!
