Modern Toss's 'Having an exhibition yeah?' Celebrates 21 Years of Cartoon Chaos at Drawing Room
The British cartoonists Mick Bunnage and Jon Link, known as Modern Toss, mark their 21st anniversary with a new exhibition titled 'Having an exhibition yeah?' at the Drawing Room in Bermondsey, South London, which will be open until 6 September 2026. This exhibition showcases large-format office cartoons, features characters such as Mr Tourettes and Art Dog, and presents a prototype of the UK Swear Map, developed in collaboration with Dr Chris Montgomery from the University of Sheffield. Additionally, it includes a portion of their 103-metre F*ckyeux Tapestry and a Photo Booth for quick portraits. The pair, who first met at Loaded magazine in the 1990s, describe their style of humor as straightforward, often punctuated by swearing. Tickets can be purchased online.
