This sketch got incorporated into the illustration for The Economist in the previous post (Economical tigers - http://stevemaystuff.blogspot.com/2010/02/economical-tigers.html) but is actually illustrating the debilitating effects of 'Brigadier's Syndrome' on a child -
symptoms include -
excessive bellowing, theatrical growth of facial hair, and an alarming affinity for gin & guns. (Soft toys are liable to be shot, stuffed & mounted.)
A man afflicted with an inability to make noise is assisted by a helpful passing Foley artist to gain entry to his house. The man is generally upset by his condition but is very popular with geese (see also - 'goose' & 'saying boo to')
