Making Tea by Peter Woolcock is from the story Three Men in a Boat

Montmorency regarded the kettle with a mixture of awe, suspicion, and hate. Whenever he saw it he would growl and back at a rapid rate, with his tail shut down, and the moment it was put upon the stove he would promptly climb out of the boat, and sit on the bank, till the whole tea business was over.

Here Jerome K Jerome's classic tale of three men on boat trip up the Thames from London to Oxford is given a wonderful interpretation by caricature artist Peter Woolcock. This talented artist produced a series of line drawings for a serialised version of the story which appeared in Look and Learn during 1962.
