This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. With live cartooning and a delicious sense of humor, Harry gets us thinking how visual humor works and how a few little pen lines can tell a big story.

His weekly strip cartoons include Hamlet The Pig in The Stage and Clare In The Community for The Guardian, which he has also adapted into a Sony Award winning radio 4 sitcom, now on its tenth series.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
