Our former cartoonist-in-virtual-residence Darryl Cunningham has posted up a look at more pages from his increasingly fascinating series Psychiatric Tales, drawing on his time working in a psychiatric ward to give a much more reasoned and sympathetic look into the many mental health problems that could and often do beset almost anyone at some point; his dig at the unbalanced way the media covers a crime committed by a person with mental health issues compared to most ‘normal’ criminals is bang on the money. The series will be collected in 2010 by Blank Slate Books.
