Mr President, the physical reality of Prime Minister Corbyn is beyond your range of apprehension. If you'll just put on these PINKOVISION glasses...

Maybe the rictus grin is because she is casting no shadow and therefore a vampire.

Every time I see Express guy's Cameron it takes me a second or two to remember that this generic man in suit is supposed to be call-me-Dave. Why is it so bad? His Milliband, while still terrible, is at least recognisable.

Perhaps he can't do a recognisable cartoon Cameron without him coming out weird looking, (because, you know) which I guess the Express guy doesn't want to do?

Bob from the Times does not deserve to be paid at all. He is technically loving dross.

Bell struggles sometimes but has a signature style at least, and can come up with some beautiful stuff.

Also notice that Paul Thomas uses a lot of really obvious visual clues from issue to issue to help thick Express readers know how to think. If there are a lot of little British flags crowding the lower portion of the image then the reader knows to feel proud and support whatever is going on in the picture. He uses them a lot in scenes with Tories or Royalty (he doesn't draw much else).

drat you for cursing my eyes, I can't unsee this now!

But if you look closely, the carpet actually has an edge stripe, that's what he's stood on.

As always, can't fault Mac's art... Just the fact that he works in what is presumably quite close proximity to Paul Dacre, and yet hasn't clubbed him to death with a cast iron bar stool.

If you think that little fantasy is a little too specific to be off the cuff, that's because it isn't. Dacre is nowhere near good enough for the wall, thinking of alternatives keeps me occupied.

Adams really is poo poo at the anti-Miliband stuff, isn't he? It's like he takes the most unconnected stories and shoehorns Ed Miliband in there somehow, and the result is a non-sequitur where the joke is 'pee-pee doo-doo he is a bad politician'. I mean I get he doesn't want this to reflect badly on Gove or whatever, but gently caress.

Can't wait for his great-grandson Bob to make Adams's take look like a genius of insight though
