How is it any worse than condom Dave? Seriously, enough with condom Dave, jellyfish Dave was both funnier AND had an actual point to it. Can anyone transcribe what, if anything, Charles' letter is saying in the Independent cartoon? All I can make out is "dear MP."

"Despite Alex Salmond's fervant denials about propping up a Tory government, the Tories are very keen to see the SNP defeat labour (and so would "boost" them if they could) while another Tory government would be an extremely effective launching pad/prop for the SNP's goal of independence." I don't necessarily fully agree with it, but he's simply pointing out an irony (SNP say they aren't a prop for Tories, ironically Tories are a prop for SNP). It's not outlandish or anti-Scottish; note that Salmond is shaped more like a missile or rocket than a caber.

At the very least it's stopped wags calling him Beaker, which never made sense given Danny Alexander is in the cabinet.

And, you know, I was really warming to Mac and the fact that even if he relies on stereotypes a lot, he at least makes the effort for all of his cartoons to actually include a full-fledged joke, rather than just drawing David Cameron with his arse out. Then he does that.

I've noticed that the cartoonists with the extra cute and folksy styles are the most hateful. Or maybe it's just the juxtaposition of the art and message that makes it feel that way. See: Asay, Allie, ect.

Took my girlfriend out to Marco Pierre White's restaurant in Nottingham last weekend. Aside from a large black and white portrait of a broody Marco wielding a carving knife, every single picture on the wall was a large (A2 sized) signed Mac cartoon. Dozens of them. On every wall. I must be reading this thread and the other Political Cartoon thread too much, because it made me feel slightly uncomfortable.

Is Marco Pierre White a dickhead? I know a lot of chefs like to portray themselves as dickheads, at least, because cooking food is the 21st century version of being a glamorous, consumptive bohemian artist for some unfathomable reason. Anyway gently caress celebrity chefs is what I'm saying. Unrelated: does anyone have a copy of that wonderful cartoon where it shows the party leaders imagining how they want things, and Nigel Farage is imagining himself with three pints and three fags at once?

The one I was sat nearest had some stereotypical Scotsmen (kilts, tam o' shanters etc) stood looking at something. I didn't have my glasses on   It's like that. Everywhere. My steak was nice though, though our waiter was overly attentive. I think I annoyed him because when he asked if I wanted to taste the wine first my Mancunian accent suddenly came out and I said "Nah mate just slosh it out."

The bad news is he was the Evening Standard and Mail on Sunday cartoonist and arguably as bad as Mac in terms of his homophobic and racist stereotypes.     (Spot the  stained glass window)He was also massively anti-union.
