In reality the rope wouldn't remain taut on the other side of the cut.

However Cartoons don't have to represent single moment frozen in time and it is perfectly legitimate to show the rope before and after the cut in the same image.

I still hate BoB but I really like that Crab(b) car.

I am impressed these cartoonists set the leadership contest in totally different pop cultural settings.
No American cartoonist would have bothered, even though 2/3 are US exports.

I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. Rowson is the master of the Easter egg (and the florid Twitter rant).

Does any UK cartoonist do animated political cartoons? One of the few US cartoonists I'd recommend is Anna Telnaes who animates some of her stuff for the Washington Post (imperfectly, but with skill): https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/ann-telnaes

I kind of want to attempt to animate Michael Gove clapping and puckering but don't think I have the skill to match the original.

Two of those cartoons have very unconventional caricatures of Gove. Rowson's is the best.

Another human cartoon drops out. The caption links to Top Gear, but Nigel has a bad track record with cars... planes. I hope he manages to fit some more vehicle crashes into his retirement.
(He quit before, he'll be back. What else is going to do? Pub closes at 11)

It's all on Govey... and he's on FIE-AHHH. I saw some footage from the 2012 Tory Conference, and he still was doing that clapping-and-puckering thing.
