In this piece, the 'Ding-a-Ling' is a metaphor for the ill-fated Darien scheme, as the artist warns Scotland of the risks of ventures further afield. The drums represent the Aiken Drum, invoking images of Jacobitism and the Battle of Sheriffmuir. The stark black background brings to mind the imprimatura of the Renaissance masters, and the overall facial expression and large speech bubble bereft of useful content remind us that the cartoonist is a hack.

I think the gold frippary on the sleeves marks that lady out as a Lord/Lady Appeal Judge, and that speech would only make sense in the criminal courts. No idea.

It's unfair to criticize a Sunday paper for commenting on something "days after the event". Hell, it's hard to ask for novelty in an expression of sorrow.

I can't help thinking newspaper cartoons are a rather bad medium for sincere expressions of sorrow in the first place. Or, well, national newspapers in general, to be honest.
