The cartoon is artist Marf's take on the current news story. As she describes it: 'The capture of Saddam Hussein yesterday is marked by an American army video showing a hirsute Saddam being examines by a US Army dentist, seen from behind in a white coat wearing white plastic gloves. The normally soigné Saddam looked like a caveman – and, indeed, has been living in an underground “spider-hole” in northern Iraq for weeks, possibly months.'\r\n\r\n'Marf' drew daily topical cartoons for the <i>Evening Standard</i> between March 2002 and August 2005, moving to the Londoner's Diary page in August 2003. The drawings cover key political and social issues of the period, providing a vivid and often hilarious response to the main news of the day. The <i>Evening Standard</i> is London's only evening newspaper, publishing up to five editions a day. In Marf's own words: 'The cartoonist needs to keep up with the rapid pace of event.'","physicalDescription":"Print of a page from the <i>Evening Standard</i> for 15 December 2003 showing a cartoon by Marf, originally a black and white line drawing, It shows Saddam Hussein receiving a dental inspection from U.S Army dentists (one male and one female).
