This week's McGill Reporter Illo

I so enjoy doing these. They just take a half hour or so to draw, and they're usually a break from a difficult writing assignment.



This one was a little tougher than previous. The question asked was, "Why, if we've got iron in our systems, aren't we magnetic when we're stuck in the MRI machine?"

Something more elegantly phrased than that. Still, a bizarre question, me-thinks, and always hard to draw an MRI machine, and make it look cute and funny.

I had begun with having the lab tech look puzzled, but instead, her expression seemed to say "bad news." Never fun, when you're in an MRI. I've been there. But don't worry, they didn't find anything.



This was another idea I had for the "Magnetic" concept. But the editor wanted the MRI machine. Also, maybe, a singles bar was not the right image for the McGill Faculty organ. I didn't fill in the black and shaded parts on this one. So, it qualifies as a "rough."
