Mark Knight’s ‘peace-offering’ to Serena Williams in annual cartoon special

Picking all the famous faces in Mark Knight’s Herald Sun end-of-year cartoon has become an annual NYE holiday sport.

But this year’s spread was the source of speculation before it was published: Will Knight draw Serena Williams again?

His portrayal of the tennis superstar earlier this year caused international controversy, even surpassing the story of Williams’s appalling on-court behaviour.

So, naturally, she had to make today’s double-page spread.

In fact, she’s sitting at the bar sharing a drink with Knight himself. But Serena looks a bit different this time…

“I’d like to think this is a sort of a peace-offering from myself to Serena,” Knight told 3AW Mornings fill-in host Heidi Murphy.

“I hope she likes the way I’ve drawn her.”

Heidi: Did you draw and re-draw her several times?

Mark: Can I say, I drew her with great caution.

Heidi: There’s a dummy near her feet; his that hers or Lawyer X’s?

Mark: I don’t know, Heidi. Don’t cause controversy please, on the last day of the year!
