Marriage Guidance Cartoon – My Brother's a Proper Cook

This black-and-white cartoon of mine, published in The Sun on July 12th, 2001, takes a light-hearted look at the world of relationship counselling. 

Set in a Marriage Guidance office, it features a couple seated in front of the counsellor – but with an unexpected extra guest.

The husband, hoping to strengthen his case, has brought along his brother, announcing, “My brother’s a proper cook – he’s come as a witness.”

The humour lies in the clever play on words and the husband’s misunderstanding of what a “witness” might be in this situation. 

Instead of bringing emotional or relational insight, his brother’s presence is intended to confirm that the wife’s cooking could do with some improvement!

Like many of my cartoons, this one combines gentle social observation with a touch of absurdity – taking a familiar scenario and adding a twist. It’s an ideal cartoon for anyone who enjoys humour about relationships and human nature.
