Why does Pope occasionally draw Bill Shorten with a Bill and other times he doesn't? Is it supposed to be a lame duck joke or is it just Bill for being called Bill?

I suspect these days it's part the pun and that Shorten looks a bit like he should have a bill. However the earliest example I can find in a quick search in Google has the first Duck Shorten being part of a series that progressed involving ministers in bathtubs:

I really like the fact that Zelda is kind of obnoxious as a person. It turns the story from a Mary Sue who is always correct and everyone should listen to, to a slice of life story of a somewhat annoying, but sort of realistic dork.

Been lurking both this and the British cartoons thread recently. Why is it that American political cartoons (either left or right) are so much worse than British in almost every way? Not funny, lazy art, over labeling, obvious and not-clever concepts.

Only about Britain.



It's a relic of the fact that American media went vastly overboard with "white, perfectly straight teeth are the only thing acceptable in movies and television", and so British actors and celebrities had weird, crooked, yellowish teeth in comparison (I.e., because they were normal people) so obviously Brits have awful teeth period.

Corey Stoll (who acted in the play) posted:

After four weeks in the rehearsal room, we moved to the theater and I saw Caesar’s Trump-like costume and wig for the first time. I was disappointed by the literal design choice. I had little fear of offending people, but I worried that the nuanced character work we had done in the rehearsal room would get lost in what could seem like a Saturday Night Live skit. I was right and wrong. Audiences did laugh at Caesar, in an explosive, hungry way that shocked us with its intensity, but when it came time for the assassination scene, they lost their nerve. In early previews, isolated audience members would scoff or even applaud during the bloody, awkward, and ugly assassination scene. Two weeks in, once we refined our performances to neutralize the laughter, you could hear a pin drop. By then, I better understood Eustis’s decision to be so literal in making Caesar Trump. A nontrivial percentage of our liberal audience had fantasized about undemocratic regime change in Washington. Acted out to its logical conclusion, that fantasy was hideous, shameful, and self-defeating.

A bit back, but this cartoon and the mentality of "the first president to actually do what he says" is maddening. There is reason he lost the popular vote! So it shouldn't be a surprise when people are mad when Trump does what he said he's gonna do.

they're terrified of a snap election with her as leader - they want the knives out ASAP just in case

the contenders themselves are more hesitant, mostly because it's such a poisoned chalice.

If an election happens before she's disposed, they're hosed. She's cocked everything up and is looking worse by the day. Their best hope is to switch her out with someone who can either hold a DUP coalition together or can win a snap election. But as above, the Tory frontrunners know that it's stepping onto a landmine with the article 50 deadline in 2 years.

Even if she does, shes the last high ranking tory that had public appeal.
The rest have all hosed it up for themselves in some way or another.

Also he's not even actually doing what he says, even if that was desirable. There's plenty of things he promised that he didn't deliver on.

Seems like Stoll is drawing the opposite conclusion as you, since he points out that liberals in the audience were horrified to see "undemocratic regime change" acted out in front of them. Presumably fascists would have been happy to see the enemy deposed via stabbing.

That's not what I'm getting from the piece, like, at all. More like liberals who would have been happy to see Trump's stabbing (and therefore be wrong) have now seen the light thanks to ~acting~ and are now terrified of violence (and therefore right).

That's a more sinister interpretation than he meant I'd have to think given his words, he's just saying that when it was cartoony violence against an unpopular target people cheered but then, when faced with a more realistic depiction of violence, even against someone they didn't like, people got understandably upset.

Because for decent people that's how it works: we can have our guilty pleasure thoughts of revenge or brutal justice but, when it comes right down to it, we'd jump on the KKK member to keep him from being beaten to death by a mob.
