We give an upper bound on the chromatic number of a graph in terms of its maximum degree and the size of the largest complete subgraph. Our result extends a theorem due to i3rook.s.

We show that the intersection graph of a collection of subsets of the plane, where each subset forms an "L" shape whose vertical stem is infinite, has its chromatic number 1 bounded by a function of the order of its largest clique w, where it is shown that ;1<2"4'3"4"'~'-". This proves a special cas
