Description

Shows two people at a high school reunion. One has a tennis ball stuffed in his mouth, while another has a rugby ball inside his mouth. The mumbling of the man with the rugby ball in his mouth (which is translated below) suggests that it's all relative and that compared with his teacher, David Benson-Pope was an angel. The cartoon refers to the allegation made against Cabinet minister David Benson-Pope that he stuffed a tennis ball into a student's mouth while he was teaching at Bayfield High School in the 1980s but that relatively speaking maybe this action was less serious than has been made out.

Arrangement: This cartoon file was originally delivered to the library within a sub-folder called 'MG Business', which was inside a folder called 'AWS Cartoon highlights, Nov'04-May'07'
