His arse is also labelled "Morsi". You know, for the benefit of all those legendarily thick Economist readers. Nice to see them commentating so savagely on financial types.

What do the teacup and the green dragon/dinosaur things represent? The sloth is an economic growth sloth I read?

Triple-diplodocus (for the recession), a giant fur cup (a gently caress-up if you can't hear it), and yes, an economic growth sloth. Nope, that's not how you erase an etch-a-sketch. Come on.

In fairness to Matt, isn't that at least partly about how the HS2 route mysteriously doesn't go through George Osborne's constituency?

My view is very zoomed in and I think that its Osbourne on the pin. Though really all it is is a black blob (his goofy suit,) a tan blob on top of it, and another black blob on top of that (his hair.)

And what are the colorful things hanging on the bucket (under the skeleton's arm)? I can't tell if they're knives/trowels with the blades labelled or wormy things with tags hanging off drinking out of the bucket.

Deceitful Penguin posted:'cause he lived and was educated in the States. Chetlenham, Pennsylvania (an old suburb just north of Philadelphia) to be exact. He went to grade school for two years and high school there along with his late brother Yonotan. I think he was bumming around there after his first term as PM as well.

In case anyone hasn't seen Charlie Brooker's excellent Black Mirror, which that cartoon is referencing, you really should do so. It's on 4oD if you register (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/black-mirror/4od) and the new series starts next Monday!

Any ideas for these ones: "[...] MARRIAGE" "[...] EU[rope?] GA[ys?]" "[...] RA[...]" "[P?]UT TIT BACK INTO CONSTITUENCY OFFICE!" - not sure about this one I assume it's "BRING BACK SECTION 28" Fat Guy Sexting posted:The growth sloth is trying to figure out how many somethings can dance on the head of a pin but I can't work out what it is.

Naturally most cartoons focus on gay marriage today. Surprisingly little passion or vitriol, most of them are going for A Thing Happened mixed with laughing at Cameron Guardian:   Daily Mail:  quote:“Don’t raise your hopes, Norman. I’ve got a feeling Brad Pitt is already spoken for.” Telegraph:  Express:  Independent:

I'm almost certain it's the Olympic torch. Something to do with the how the Olympics did a lot for the economy oh wait no they didn't. Hence, tiny torch held by growth sloth.
