Which David once said "I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Checkpoint Charlie?" Which David claimed to have been born in Scotland, as it sounded more romantic, and was Ian Fleming's original choice to play James Bond?

In January 2010 he joined the Daily Mail as their daily pocket cartoonist after nearly fifteen years at The Times. He was voted the Cartoon Art Trust Pocket Cartoonist of the Year in 1998, 2000, 2001, and 2007, and was the British Press Awards Cartoonist of the Year in 2001.
