Jason Manford..

On his Facebook page the comedian was offering £200 to anyone who could produce a cartoony type caricature for a new comedy club he was starting..so I thought I would give it a go....just finished it and was about to put it on his Facebook page when I read that the offer had been taken down.Apparently he had received so much abuse from people who drew logo's for a living that he felt this was the best action to take !!!! perhaps if they had got off their bums and done a drawing instead of being on Facebook someone would have been £200 better off....just saying..
