Cathy Wilcox has been drawing cartoons since she was old enough to scratch the furniture. She earned her letters at Art College and was eventually taken in by the Sydney Morning Herald. There, she churns out cartoons almost daily since 1989, pausing only to procreate, make cups of tea and collect cartooning awards.
