That said, much like this comment it's a bit of a mundane concept for a comic. I'm fully expecting him to draw a quirky, likeable comic about aeroplane food at some point.

Edit: VVVV - Oh god, that's even worse somehow. I really want to like his stuff but these are pretty lame. At least that one is actually political?

And that's Margret Hodge walking away. I'd recomend to the Americans in the thread to seek out her performances as head of the Public Accounts Committee. Primo rudeness to rich people. You can close your eyes and pretend it's making the slightest difference.

My "joke" is so unfunny that I can't even allude to the wit (since it contains none) and have to resort to basically explaining what the image is, as if providing subtitles for the hard of seeing-cartoons.

Is the dude who does the Express cartoons like the British equivalent to JRROSE! from the American thread? I've only been reading since Maggie died but my god the Express cartoons are like walking down the hall in an art gallery past Rembrandts and Picassos then suddenly there's a fingerpainting from the curators 4 year old nephew.

Was he always like this?

Kind of, if JRROSE! was obsessed with the royal family instead of his local womens' sports teams.

He obviously got the job pretty much for his love of the royals and otherwise milquetoast opinions, because his comics are really suited to the content of the Express in general.
