Like the Gabrielle d'Estrees parody with Boris Johnson and David Cameron (posted in the Gay Abortion Repository). Cameron is pregnant with Brexit (perhaps the obvious reading looking at it now, but it was drawn before Johnson even declared his support for Brexit)? Cameron and Johnson are ideological siblings? Cameron is having sex with the Queen? Cameron and Johnson are lesbian icons?

Is a good painting. Also a cool politoon. Maybe somebody can put a small version of it in the poo room.

It's loving mind-blowing that these are the people that got him elected. I like to believe that most of the Republicans that voted for him, while they made a huge mistake, didn't actually believe all this poo poo. These are truly just plain awful people. Deplorable, even. I hope that his fanboy rage is burns his worthless wannabe cowboy rear end. Whatever makes it even slightly easier.

Les Affaires posted:Is it just me or is the british political cartoon aesthetic just a little too jarring? It's a different culture. American cartoonists (those who can draw - which there admittedly aren't many) love to make OUR GUY look handsome and dashing and  while THEIR guy is an ugly old smelly piece of garbage, ie. Kelly style which also gets old really soon. British cartooning philosophy is more "these are people who hold a lot of power, we should be mocking them for all their weaknesses and mistakes because we can".

Like there are lots of other ways to mock people beyond wacky/gross caricature and it feels weirdly immature or something Reminder that Steve Bell first drew David Cameron as a transparent jellyfish, then for a while did him as a condom but with no intent of making this the permanent form until at a conference he met Cameron and realized that it really struck a nerve and therefore should be permanent. quote:The PM seemed very friendly. "Hello Steve, hello Simon!" he cried cheerily, but moved straight into the condom question. (One important issue is the teat on the end.) "You can only push the condom so far," Cameron said, which struck me as wise advice in life as well as political cartooning. Of course he had to turn the quote into a cartoon right away.  https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2010/oct/09/simon-hoggart-diary

My impression of British cartoons is the Queen barfing on Boris Johnson while simultaneously making GBS threads on a bird in the shape of Theresa May, who's holding a clothespin representing Nigel Farage (for reasons only the cartoonist remembers now) and shouting "THAT'S A BREXIT!", and the whole thing's done in the style of a Goya painting.

Nenonen posted:Of course he had to turn the quote into a cartoon right away. Just to be a pedantic bastard, that cartoon is from earlier this year when he resigned - that's his face and quote drawn on the big blue moving van that took his stuff out of number 10. The pic of him on the side is modelled after the omnipresent poster campaign way back when he was still just leader of the opposition, looking earnestly into the camera next to some slogan about how he totally won't dismantle the nhs, honest. He was indeed the future once. Lord Hydronium posted:My impression of British cartoons is the Queen barfing on Boris Johnson while simultaneously making GBS threads on a bird in the shape of Theresa May, who's holding a clothespin representing Nigel Farage (for reasons only the cartoonist remembers now) and shouting "THAT'S A BREXIT!", and the whole thing's done in the style of a Goya painting. This is 100% accurate. A job at the Guardian awaits you.

A fair point, but we're talking about a billionaire developer. He has a special hatred of aesthetically-unpleasing ecosystems. Why can't those animals move to a nice plain or lovely and colorful jungle?

My first thought was "it would actually help Trump's image a bunch if he let a bunch of animals live in the White House". And then I noticed one of the "swamp animals" was a cobra.

Selachian posted:Just came across this. Apologies if it's been posted already. According to the accompanying text. it's actually a repeat: Mr. Fish posted:I received a note this morning from a fan who reminded me of an illustration that I did almost 4 years ago. He correctly suggested that the image might have greater relevance now than when I originally posted it, which is unfortunately true. So, in the interest of forcing our collective faces back into the instructive commentary offered by the deep dark truthful mirror, I present this cartoon, not as proof of our defeat at the rope-burned hands of bigots and soulless automatons of institutionalized bigotry and hick paranoia, but rather as a battle cry calling to action the hearts and minds of better men and women poised and ready to fight peaceably for a kinder and more tolerant future.
