Nice use of light and shadow, perspective (visual, not political obviously), his characters actually have... character. Pretty decent, some other strips look rather lazy in comparison (*cough*The Express*cough*). Shame he's for the wall really. tooterfish fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Aug 23, 2013 |

It came across as a bit 'wife is a man in drag = obviously a fake family'?  Edit: Also to make  a bit more obvious.(I'll assume that your shared sentence was intentional though.)

What transphobic slur? The picture is a reference to the publicity shot the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released last week holding their sprog and some dogs. It's all part of an exceptionally well managed PR charm offensive to gloss over the fact that apparently some people are worth more than others due to an accident of birth. e: The people in the cartoon are our Dear Elected Leaders Nick Clegg and David Cameron, long may they reign for a thousand years.

There is no slur there, don't be absurd. It's good that y'all are earnest to stamp out transphobia, but c'mon. Also: We don't need you to edit out nasty words like "normal" in a thread designed for critiquing political cartoons, good or bad. I am trans, also. We don't need you to do that. Thanks.

Cloud Potato posted:Close. "Michael Middleton, the duchess's father, took the pictures in the family's garden" quote:Renowned photographer Terry O'Neill said he thought the pictures were "absolutely charming". 'Interesting lighting' There's a lot of diplomatic talk going down here, and no mistake. Still, the whole royal image is controlled and managed to gently caress, so the whole PR machine had to look at these, be fully aware they're a bit crap and dark, and realise they could easily recreate them professionally the usual way, fully staged and properly lit. But they didn't, they made an explicit, calculated decision to issue the first long awaited official pictures using some amateur snaps 'taken by dad'. Don't know about you but I'm convinced! e- now this is a good snapshot  Surreal and unsettling baka kaba fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Aug 23, 2013 |

Hollywood teeth have nothing to do with healthy teeth, or Americans wouldn't keep pestering us about having "bad teeth" (i.e.: not perfectly white) despite the fact we actually have better dentistry than them these days. Well, they probably would because it's funny and only a bore gets butthurt about it, but you know what I mean.

A Riddell with no labels! Good example of why he doesn't even need them, his Assad is wearing a gas mask and is still totally recognisable. Is it me or is the Telegraph pretty one-note these days? I'm used to the travesty that is BOB with his 'haha Ed Miliband that is the joke' series, now Adams is getting in on it
