Oor Wee Yin's Banter

Oor Wee Yin's Banter
One of Scotland's most famous comic book characters has been transformed as part of a charity art trail. Oor Wullie, the loveable scamp often found causing trouble in his hometown of Auchenshoogle, has been given a makeover. Quoted from the STV website.

Oor Wee Yin's Banter on the Oor Wullie's Big Bucket Trail website

Capping the [Duke of Wellington] statue with a traffic cone has become a traditional practice in the city [of Glasgow], claimed to represent the humour of the local population and believed to date back to the first half of the 1980s, if not before. Quoted from Wikipedia.

I like this, definitely a sense of humour though I'd not previously heard of the cartoon.
