Scottish Cartoonist Accused Of Assaulting Daughter-In-Law

According to a story hitting international wire services this morning, the cartoonist Donald "Malky" McCormick will go to trial in December on charges of assaulting his daughter-in-law Nicola McCormick. McCormick reportedly seized her by the throat and hit her in the head several times with a stick. He's also charged with disorderly conduct for challenging people to a fight and banging the stick on a door. This all took place in the town of Fenwick on July 8.

McCormick is 68 years old; his daughter-in-law is half his age. The cartoonist's web site calls him Scotland's best known cartoonist and caricaturist. His clients include the Daily Record, Daily Express, the Sunday Telegraph and an untold number of Scottish businesses and civic organizations.
