Cartoonist Drew Burglar's Mugshot.

From the website:

After a burglar broke into caricaturist Bill "Weg" Green’s Heathmont home on Sunday, it took the 82-year-old just seconds to draw his attacker.

    Warning: This Home Protected by Sharpie

    Bill "Weg" Green helped to bring a burglar to justice after the maroon tore through the 82-year-old artist's backyard and used his grandson's bicycle to make a getaway. As the story relates, Green was able to draw, in seconds, a picture of the ...

    How hard did the police have to search for a hydrocephalic caveman with a buzzcut and a mouth like a moose mouth? That drawing looks like a medical illustration of someone stung by a beehive.
