John Singer Sargent's Gassed:  WWI Propaganda poster.  I think one of the thread regulars also did Cameron in a pastiche of this also. [e]: Here we are, it was Bell:

Yeah we've had this discussion before because I was of the opinion it looked dead like Cameron but it's from before it'd make sense for it to be about him.

Thanks for the updates! I recognised the propaganda one at least but I didn't know anything more about it. If anyone has any more references I can add them in, I was just seeing how fast I could compile the stuff

^^^ [e]: N/p baka kaba  The only others I recognise is the Kitchener "YOUR COUNTY NEEDS YOU!" recruitment posters, and Jaws, but they're kinda ubiquitous. Gassed is a pretty haunting painting.

Puntification posted:Yeah we've had this discussion before because I was of the opinion it looked dead like Cameron but it's from before it'd make sense for it to be about him. Ah, my mistake then. Didn't know it was that far back (or the news context); I just assumed it was an early version of his Cameron.

It's more current time where Israeli children asking their dads what they did in Gaza when they were away (if I recall it was around the time Israel starting bombing Gaza again and got caught using White phosphorus).  One Steve Bell did during 2005. Have some more from the past:                     There is alot others but its pretty late and I need sleep.

Come back Cloud Potato we miss you. Scarfe  I was going to dig up some Morning Star cartoons but it looks like they've redesigned their site and no longer post them online. I did find out that one of their most frequent cartoonists, Leon Kuhn, died earlier this year, so RIP.

Thomas is really knocking them out of the park lately. I don't know if I can take much more of this primo comedy material. I never thought I'd say it but I think he's putting in too much effort with the scenes, even those scribbles are more work than these sorry excuses for observational comedy deserve. He might as well just do this and call it a day Also Norman Bake? Come on! Wonder if he'll be suffering the same fate as David Nutt for daring to suggest these things. Pretty sure the Times and Telegraph used the exact same jokes last year
