Fluo posted:Steve Bell's cartoon for tomorrow, posted early: (Original is Doré's illustration of Farinata degli Uberti, who was condemned to burn in a tomb for heresy. Heresy is punished in the sixth circle, further from the middle than the violent or malicious crimes. efb on the original engraving though.)

I would have gone for the one where the humans are whipped with spikes to run through tar pits or whatever. It's one of the first areas in the eighth circle and it's one of the most things ever and I could see how malice/anger could be applied to her. \/\/\/: Ok that first one is loving brilliant. mind the walrus fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Apr 9, 2013 |

MAC is secretly Thatcher, it would explain the lovely quality of his work Also, I really wish they sold the Socialist Worker near me. I think that's the first time anybody's ever said that.

There was a collection of Bell's Thatcher cartoons in the second-hand bookshop last week. It was £2.95. Bet it's a bit more than that now.

I do see the logic behind it, as Osborne openly came out and started attacking them and pretty much made it seem anyone on benefits where like the Philpotts. So since Osborne, Cameron and Clegg are living in government paid housing Osborne was saying he is just like them (aka killing children). But I agree it is in poor taste. It makes me really awkward reading this weeks IF... edit: I do think its playing off what Osborne's view of working class is, and not what Steve Bell's view of the working class is but even so.

I'm not really seeing the connection between Ophelia and Ed; am I just being dense here? As far as I can tell, the cartoon is suggesting that the (affected) grief at Thatcher's death is drowning (out) Miliband and/or leaving him floundering. And this makes him like Ophelia because she also drowned?

Maybe it's because Ed's gone crazy like most of new Labour (with the whole "We can out Tory the Tories") and should just drown.

And this makes him like Ophelia because she also drowned? quote:Ophelia has fallen into the river from a tree overhanging it, while gathering flowers. She lies in the water singing songs, as if unaware of her danger ("incapable of her own distress"). Her clothes, trapping air, have allowed her to temporarily stay afloat ("Her clothes spread wide, / And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up."). But eventually, "her garments, heavy with their drink, / Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay" down "to muddy death." Maybe it's a comment on how all the affected grieving and tributes are being used to push the Tory agenda, and Miliband is happily floating along with it, unaware that it's going to punish him

Telegraph: Gotta love the Torygraph trying to make it out as partiers / protesters are all part of Black Bloc type kind of thing. There will always be some there but they're not the loving core of it, how its drawn you're meant to hate them but like the other 3. Note the policeman has his weapon under his waist, where as the anarchist has it above (with added Molotov!).

Guardian: "Former prime minister says party must remain firmly rooted in the centre ground." Independent: Daily Mail: "The number of organ donations has soared during the last year." “Once we get there, does anyone know the way to St Pauls?” I'm not sure if they've left yesterday's caption up there by mistake, or if it's one of the most macabre cartoons I've ever seen. Dibs on her bile duct! EDIT: Real caption: “If only she could’ve donated a fraction of her guts and determination to today’s politicians.” And the Express's website this week: Look at the selection bar at the bottom. They've uploaded the same comic every day this week. How have they not noticed this? Cloud Potato fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Apr 12, 2013 |

baka kaba posted:Maybe it's a comment on how all the affected grieving and tributes are being used to push the Tory agenda, and Miliband is happily floating along with it, unaware that it's going to punish him That's a great interpretation and even ties in with the issue of Ophelia's death being seen as a suicide ("Is she to be buried in Christian burial that wilfully seeks her own salvation?"): you could read it as suggesting Ed has committed political suicide (though as Mahmoud said, eulogising Thatcher hasn't exactly hurt Ed).
