Comic's doodles land her a book deal

Jessie Cave to publish cartoon collection

Comedian Jessie Cave has signed a book deal to release a collection of her single-panel cartoons.

The title, Love Sick, has been compiled from doodles she has posted on Twitter. Since 2010 she has uploaded a new drawing every day, which 'soon became a cathartic compulsion', and have won her 73,000 followers.

As well as her stand-up – which will include a return to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer – 27-year-old Cave is known for playing Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter film series.

Publishers David Shrigley say: 'Confessional, funny and brutally honest, the doodles in this book cover all the aspects of liking someone, dating, falling in love, friendship and breaking-up. They are born from the confusing and often embarrassing moments, feelings and situations that every woman faces in her day-to-day dating life.'

Love Sick is published on July 2, priced £9.99. Click here to pre-order from Amazon.
