Sketchbook of woe

Following on from yesterday's post this is another cartoon from the food section of my sketchbook. Inspired by Carmen Miranda and the hat she wore I added some veg. It wasn't the easiest of pictures to draw as me and veg are not that closely associated (or fruit come to think of it) Carmen was a popular singer in the 40's and 50's and would be known mostly for the song, Ai, Ai, Ai (I like you very much) But like me you probably remember Jerry in the Tom & Jerry cartoons dressing up as her!! Carmen died suddenly when she was looking up at a crack in the ceiling and the weight of her hat broke her neck. I put my back out looking at my crack once, but that's a different story!!
