A Jane Austen cartoon for @theguardian.com
Title: Microdosing Jane Austen at the Office Panel 1: A woman sits at a desk which has a computer and a coffee on it. She says "I read a line or two of her writing every hour to keep a mild Regency buzz throughout the day." Panel 2: In a conference room with colleagues, she says "Meetings take on the thrill and romance of a glamorous ball." Panel 3: Typing at her computer she says "My emails are elegant, formal and heaving with restrained passions." Panel 4: "I glance demurely at eligible suitors as I daintily nibble a pret sandwich." she says as she looks across at three men at a different table. Panel 5: She leaves the office and says "It's not all been positive: on Tuesday I read a whole page, and before I knew it, I'd declined three proposals, danced several quadrilles and scandalously revealed an ankle!"
