My Easter cartoon for @GuardianBooks

Title: Easter Egg Hunt techniques inspired by great detectives 

Panel 1: Sherlock Holmes.
Deduce the exact location of every egg from seemingly unrelated details without leaving your room. Send your amazed sidekick to fetch them. 

Panel 2: Jack Reacher 
Hit the garden hard and fast. 
Take no prisoners
Get back on the road. 
This approach results in a thrillingly intense hunt, but very few intact eggs.

Panel 3: George Smiley
Meticulously assess documents, people and motives. Then scrupulously collect the eggs and dejectedly wonder if  any of it was worthwhile.
