Before Christmas I got asked to illustrate a picture of a policeman with the owners cat 'Charlie' (the middle image) and the family friend that commissioned the illustration loved the image so much they wanted two more, one with a burglar and another one with the policeman. I decided that the images should follow a loose story in which Charlie the cat witnesses a burglary, then informs the policeman who is happy that Charlie the cat has helped him catch the crook.
