Today's cartoon by Andy Davey from The Sun relates to news that Prince William and his bride Kate have had a boatload of treats shipped to their island honeymoon hideaway - including Brussels sprouts.

EXPLANATION
Brussels sprouts, being rich in vitamins and nutrients, are recommended for stopping hair loss and promoting healthy hair growth. And, of course, the royal heir is losing his hair. The joke is that rather than eating the sprouts (let's face it, not everyone's favourite food), the William has been putting them on his head. Doh! Not surprisingly, the results are disappointing.
COMMENT
The Sun notes that women are advised to eat sprouts if they are trying to get pregnant. So Wills and Kate might be having a little sprout 9 months from now!
