Seriously, I think it's a project to see how bad you can make cartoons and still get them printed at face value in a national newspaper. The carefully drawn birds are a hidden symbol of integrity

For the man it's as if the cartoonist has tried to mix every possible aspect of middle-england: there's a suit for the city types, a green burberry/barbour jacket for the country types, a 'quirky' bow-tie for the UKIP eccentrics, a flat cap for the 'pensioners and a briefcase for the working-aged.

When was the last time you actually saw someone in a tweed suit? Maybe a secret underground of such sartorial throwbacks constitutes the Express's readership. Anyway, at a guess, I'd say it's a Red Kite in silhouette.

I can't remember if its been posted yet, but here is the latest (21st December 2012) Steve Bell Video. Which is Steve Bell's year in cartoons. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/video/2012/dec/31/year-in-cartoons-steve-bell-2012-video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqBcclS6Oxc Also going back to 2012, somehow I didn't see this article, if you have think of it as a reminder how much of a prick Giles Coren is written by such as big a prick Damian Thompson. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/damianthompson/100190020/guardian-cartoonist-steve-bell-is-a-nazi-says-times-columnist-giles-coren/ quote:Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell is a Nazi, says Times columnist Giles Coren – then retracts. Half the article hyperlinks to other telegraph articles bashing the Guardian and brown nosing Guido. Because Guido gets most his hits from the Telegraph hyperlinking. The two cartoons which Giles Coren thought he did both and not just the one to the right. Also in that Telegraph article the comments got locked sometime ago.

The leadership debate spin room was particularly ridiculous. I wish we had more journos with Steve's style. I think because he's a cartoonist first and a journalist second he can get away with not playing the politician's spin game, he just doesn't seem to care, he knows it's all poo poo and just goes along with it.

I looked at his wikipedia page to check if they were related and the first sentence is "Giles Coren (born 29 July 1969) is a British food critic, television presenter and novelist. He is known for expressing controversial opinions, and for his television appearances with the comedian Sue Perkins." How on earth can she stand such a despicable piece of poo poo?

Niric posted:How on earth can she stand such a despicable piece of poo poo? Actually, he isn't too bad on TV - he's one of these people who is a penis on serious topics or in writing but who is otherwise likeable when it comes to more lighthearted stuff. Which is a bit weird because I have often thought that his sister's TV work can be a bit limp at times; like she's holding back. Personally, I just think you're jealous of him getting to hang around with Perkins (yes, I know, I know).

BBC Article about political cartoons from back in November 2012. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20462098 quote:Political cartoons: Britain's revolutionaries. quote:Lord Baker's top current cartoonists quote:John Major's underpants became a fundamental part of his political caricature. quote:This anonymous cartoon from 1740 satirises Prime Minister Robert Walpole's love of patronage. quote:Margaret Thatcher as the Iron Lady. This cartoon wasn't published by the Daily Telegraph because the editor thought readers wouldn't like seeing "Margaret's knickers round her ankles".
