I think he's talking about the michael caine looking fucker (the green one) and I can only assume that's Rolf Harris.

Has Michael Cain deteriorated massively since the last time I checked? I was talking about the one above the Savile-worm, who probably is Harris. He just looks a lot more kempt than I envision him. The left-most one is definitely Smith.

goatface posted:OUR BOYS in the army were more recently shooting Argentinians than Germans, so they receive a higher hatred rating. Thanks to the Argentinians, troops have to be deployed to a desolate rock in the middle of the South Atlantic ocean, hundreds of miles from any real civilisation, with gently caress all to do except drink, trying not to drive into minefields, and moaning about how poo poo the place is, for 4-6 months at a time. Whereas thanks to Germany, troops got deployed to Germany, which is a very nice place to live. hazza fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Jul 15, 2014 |

I always assumed the endless Argentina bashing was more because England supporters still haven't got over Maradona and the Hand of God, than anything to do with the Falklands war.

Maybe for any given Brit, but the Express is definitely yammering on about the Falklands.

I feel like Rowson doesn't get enough props in this thread because it's fun to talk poo poo about the bad ones but really, he's non-stop class. Not only is every piece something you could hang in a gallery, he pretty much always takes a thoughtful approach to the imagery and analogies he uses. And on the other hand that Indy one is really lazy. At least the Times got some really dark satire in there

Yeah, he also puts effort into it like he literally paints them. Steve Bell does too but for some unknown reason hes been very hit and miss the last 12months. But when he hits. :jizz:

Yeah I'm not ragging on anyone's style or anything (except Thomas obviously), I just think Rowson's in a class of his own with these. It's not like cartoons have to be that involved but it's great that his are! Someone uploaded that bit on the One Show with all the cartoonists, if anyone's interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVDfjmkp8gE Mostly Rowson talking poo poo about everyone and ignoring Nadine Dorries

I don't remember Lenin being so fat or misshapen. How come Thomas can do passable caricatures sometimes but not when he's drawing portraits and people in the background?

Actually when I saw it I thought 'ohhhh that explains a lot'. LOL MLIBLAND DUM Unless you mean his pro-tory stance which is probably down to him working for the Telegraph. Apparently he's also done work for the Morning Star which is pretty  but I can't find any actual examples of it. Maybe it's the same Miliband material without any tories

I'll find the source I read about it a while ago, it's somewhere in UK Political Cartoon Mega Thread #1. Generally once in awhile his buddy helps him out. Sometimes he just does a detailed bird sometimes he does the face. Paul also has a blog as hes a keen bird watcher: http://thenuthatchchronicle.blogspot.co.uk/

Is that where the rumours came from? Also while I'm on the subject, am I the only one who looks at Thomas's Putin and sees Daniel Craig? I mean I know he's the number one superspy and all but you'd think replacing the effective head of the Russian government without being detected is a bit of a stretch

Even if Thomas does all of his own artwork, he still can't draw actual people in his own style without meticulously copying from references (bar a few he's spent a lot of time drawing, like the Queen). He's actually played a large part in getting me to draw; if someone that terrible can succeed, then I sure as hell can too.

So as I was hunting for the source (SA search is down) so had to get my google fu up. Found a photo of Paul Thomas though which trust me, was a nightmare 12months ago. If I recall it was some form of interview and he talked about how his good friend would help him out, like how MAC puts in a drawing of his wife somewhere hidden in the non-political cartoons he does.  My google fu isn't coming up with anything, I will someday find it again though unless SA search is back up. Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Even if Thomas does all of his own artwork, he still can't draw actual people in his own style without meticulously copying from references (bar a few he's spent a lot of time drawing, like the Queen). Keep it up! (he made a killing in the 80s and 90s doing Matt level cartoons)
