From Kim Thompson:

MICHAEL CAINE, SERIAL CARTOONIST

Q: What do STEVE BELL and BARRY WINDSOR-SMITH have in common (aside from being British cartoonists)?

A: Apparently, both produce cartoon or comics work that looks as if Michael Caine might have drawn it. BWS drew the sword-and-sorcery comic strip that the Caine character in Oliver Stone's infamous 1981 movie The Hand was supposedly responsible for (at least before his car accident), while Bell's is the hand behind Caine's briefly-glimpsed cartoons in the Alfonso Cuaron film Children of Men, exactly 25 years later.
