Hell, you can support the royal family and still not want to see every cartoon in a paper be about them.

His usual schtick is 'no-nonsense celebrity figure achieves something notable, so let's put him in some other situation where he'll get results'. The fact Cameron actually wants to send aid to the rebels and he's depicted as smirkingly saying 'we've decided to send this guy' implies Saatchi is an effective and proven fighter, instead of an abusive old man

I know it's good for a laugh every loving day but seriously this thread has turned into Express Cartoonist Chat every day by just how loving awful he is. That one is the icing on the loving cake. Can we agree to stop posting his loving poo poo cartoons and focus on the others or is it like some kind of horrified fascination and we need to keep going?

The dozens who have begged in vain for no more posting of Chris Muir's "work" in the US politoons thread were rebuffed because "we need to show how poo poo it is", so you can suffer too.

Guardian: Obama in Berlin calls for US-Russia nuclear weapons cuts. Telegraph:  Cameron praises G8 pledge for Syria; Run of wet summers could last another 10 years. Independent:  Jail reckless bankers, standards commission urges. Express:  Annual horse-racing/wacky-hat compo Royal Ascot is happening. Without the Express we'd only be drawing our content from four sources (Mac of the Mail hasn't updated in two weeks), and I think the Telegraph's paywall will be introduced at the end of the month, reducing the number of cartoons down further.

Perhaps it's time we consider merging the UK thread back into the general thread? I know everyone bitched about them before, but a) Muir keeps getting posted and bitched about, and b) these are infinitely better than Muir's poo poo. Even Foxy McRoyalFamily-upon-Twat.

It's really typical that you would cite a lack of competition between cartoon sources as a reason to continue posting his drivel. Cartoons are to be enjoyed by everyone, they are a natural monopoly and there's no reason to post any cartoons other than Steve Bells.

Might be interesting to post the Private Eye cartoons just to show how horrendous they are. It's weirdly at odds with the rest of the paper which is usually pretty good. They have the regular "Yobs" strip which is classist as hell, and in others whenever they draw Wendi Deng she's always talking with her Ls and Rs swapped like a Chinese stereotype from the 19th century. There was one in the issue before last that very nearly made me stop buying it, but there's not really any other paper that has such good whistleblowing and investigative stories. It had a chav stereotype answering a questionnaire: "Why don't you get a job picking fruit? A. I'm better off on benefits B. I can't be bothered C. What's a fruit?" No sign of "D. There are no jobs, agricultural or otherwise, and the GLA don't have enough powers to keep you safe if you did have one".

It never worked in the past because it'd either just flat out be ignored or would have people calling stuff racist because they thought David Milliband was Obama and generally getting really angry because they couldn't understand it because it didn't have labels / enough labels which we always found funny because they tend to get angry at everything being labels.

Yeah we mix it up abit sometimes but its annoying that you have to pay a subscription to The Times to be able to see Scarfe's newest cartoons. The first 3 posts in the OP has most of the cartoonists but still need to add some more. The Financial Times has an ok cartoonist too eg:  Then there is stuff like Matt from the Telegraph:   Nick Hayes does some cartoons sometimes for papers and his art style I quite like:   Then there's Peter Duggan [he does a satirical take on the art world, with a tongue-in-cheek tribute to an artist every week]. Eg:  quote:The pre-Raphaelites Telegraph tends to have 3 or so cartoonists take it in turns to do their cartoons, Adams is by far the most right wing. Bob Moran:  Telegrapth.  Guardian. The Scotsman cartoons is a poor try at Rowson's work and tends to be blurry 70% of the time:  20/06/13. I do love that alot of cartoonists are still using paint and making their cartoons a work of art like Steve Bell and Rowson etc. Can try and working on getting some more in but outside the big 3 they tend to be pretty random when they're added and even don't add new one for a couple of days or even weeks.  Also if you haven't already its worth checking the first 3 posts to the thread / OP.

I know what you mean, Steve Bell like writers gets seems to get writers block he did a video on it once where he just starts going crazy on not having any ideas and then something just clicks (like when he started doing Cameron as a condom).
