Tottering Family Foibles is a new collection of cartoons from the Tottering-by-Gently archive. Here, artist Annie Tempest celebrates the quirks, clashes and comforts of family life across the generations. From grandparents to grandchildren – and the ever-present dogs – this selection captures the humour and humanity of everyday domestic life with the Totterings’ signature warmth and wit. Whether reflecting on tradition or navigating modern madness, these cartoons offer a wry look at the glorious muddle that is family.
