Political cartoon dated February 9, 1982 showing castaway on desert island with message 'A well wisher with millions more'

This political cartoon from February 9, 1982, depicts a castaway on a desert island holding a message that reads 'AT LAST... A NOTE FROM A well wisher with millions more.' The timing coincides with the collapse of Laker Airways, suggesting public support for Sir Freddie Laker during his airline's financial difficulties. The cartoon appears to reference the widespread sympathy Laker received from the traveling public during this period.
