"This was the peculiar story of 'spy' balloons from China that were floating across the States. Everyone kicked off, but they turned out to be relatively harmless. Not having done a Valentine's Day cartoon on the actual day, Banksy's heart-shaped balloon was my attempt to claw that back." Peter Brookes
