Nah I think he retired a while back. But they used a crusader knight he drew as part of their Brexit cover without paying him, which is always a point of contention with artists and especially as he's solidly Remain. They probably owned the copyright for everything he drew during his tenure as political cartoonist there, but it's an expected favor to at least ask if you're going to reuse one in a new campaign or different context. They didn't legally have to, and they obviously didn't, so he's been poking fun at them on Twitter.

He can't even have been doing a Giles and just taking their money, because Giles - who was considerably to the left of the paper - rarely got overtly political, while Thomas was constantly parroting the editorial line.

More than a refugee-it's a child refugee. First it shows the camera taking his picture, then him, then the digitization of his image, then its use in a racist ad, then news reportage of the ad, then a British child seeing it. Then it zooms out so that we, reading the comic, are seeing the British child in the same way that the child sees the immigrant. And then the viewer moves on. Notice the parallel framing on panels 6 and 12, and the inversion of panels 1 and 13, especially. It's paralleling the refugee, the British, and the viewer, over the three rows. It's a masterpiece. It's like something Alan Moore would design, except no one has consumed a ball of hashish. Cloud Potato posted:Stephen Collins: edit: christ. The frames on panels 6 and 12 are meant to mimic the frames of the comic. What national cartooning awards are available in Britain?

I didn't even realise that was a child *looking* at the picture because I guess I didn't look hard enough, so that makes a lot more sense now. Honestly, even if it takes a while to parse, the fact that he's even trying to use the comics/cartoons format to say something meaningful in a way that uses the form in a different way puts him above most of the shits that we see in the politoons threads. Stephen Collins is a Good Chap.

It's curious how some cartoons have Nigel Farage as the Brexit "star" and some have Boris. Nigel before the vote; Boris after?

A lot of the Boris stuff is because he is going to be running to replace Cameron shortly. So things like the "New Dawn" cartoon are saying that he's going to be the next PM.

During the campaign, Farage was the most interesting thing going, you never knew what the racist would say next. The Breaking Point poster was all him for instance. Now that it's over, he's not got a lot to do. He's one of the few politicians who doesn't have a leadership challenge to worry about, and until he starts agitating for us to fire article 50, we won't be hearing from him. "Smug man still happy" is not news.

I think that Boris was expecting No to win and deliberately supported Yes in order to ride that wave of disappointed anger to a party convention win afterwards. Of course he'll still probably win now, but it will make winning a general election a lot harder afterwards.
