This has a great history and as I found these copies of the cartoons just yesterday, I wanted to dedicate them to my husband - who has done this often ( three times!)
The story is we got stuck in the local river, couldn’t move, flooded, I opened the back doors and the dog swam out!! Can you believe that! Anyway the local cartoon man got hold of this and penned this for the local public!
This was years ago.... like about 10!
Three good things:’
1. That I have kept these - the very skilled originator ( a friend of ours) died some years ago1
2. The car eventually dried out … but the alarm system didn’t work and would start screaming in the middle of a dark dark, night!
3. I’m glad we don’t have a 4X4 any more!
Very talented friend ... but not so clever John... but makes a funny story... would look good in a little frame... and place it near Johns chair... Thanks for sharing..
Why a great cartoon to go with this funny story - even though it certainly wouldn't have been so funny for you at the time. I love the cleverness of the cartoon and the cartoonist.

@s4sayer Thanks Margo - in fact I asked John what to do and he told me exactly this. A car went off the road recently and into the sea. Driver got out but passenger drowned.
I learned this on a First Aid course many years ago. Please read it.
