Since January, a Conrad cartoon has gone out each week, together with five Herblocks, to the 200 newspapers in Herblock's syndication...

A commercial for Barclays Bank of England, written in the local "High Life" beat, the short cartoon has become so popular among West Africans that it vies for equal billing with ancient Tom Mix westerns and Charlie Chaplin slapsticks.
