I wish these cartoonists would have the bravery to draw a spreadsheet being held by the man with a reputation for spreadsheets without feeling the need to label it SPREAD SHEET. For some reason of all the silly labels that one feels like it spoils things more than others.

The Prime Minister is ethereal, a ghost. The election has slain her, metaphorically; her authority is now as thin and insubstantial as smoke. Here she's even lost her human form, and is barely recognisable. Also, Rowson did a "the is a spectre haunting Europe" joke a couple of weeks back:  The imagery has continued ever since. On the floor, we see a basket of "austerity strait jackets"- discarded, presumably, by the now naked bo/gozza duo. Instead, they have adopted little Maoist caps the likes of that which is usually seen adorning Corbyn:  Are we to assume that these two are now staunch socialists, brave men of the people? They stand in the centre, holding a cornucopia or horn of plenty:  It contains top hats filled with gold coins, perhaps representing the wealth of the rich? Beneath the pair lie a doctor (nurse?), policeman and a fireman; the emergency services, stricken. Jaws slack and gimlet eyes staring into heaven, they appear close to death, if not dead already. Boris saws away at the horn, apparently intending to feed these poor unfortunates from the bounty of the horn- but not, note, from the open end, stuffed and overflowing with wealth; from the smallest possible part. Even as he does this, Boris tramples his patients, in a pose not unreminiscent of the incubus in The Nightmare:  Boris and Gove are turned towards the viewer, as if seeking approval. (Read: Boris and Gove are trying to play to the masses by discarding austerity, but are still Tories, and are unlikely to offer anything substantive relief to those suffering its effects.)

I'm pretty sure those hats at the top of the horn are the same type of hats that the Orange Order wear. In other words, it represents the one billion plus pounds they've gotten for propping up the government.

They're definitely the bowler hats of the ulstermen.Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Is Bob just straight-up complementing Corbyn? It's saying he's got two contradictory opinions on Brexit and it's going to be a mess. You should try playing tennis w/ two racquets one time, it doesn't make you twice as good.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure May's mouth in that is a reference to how he drew Gideon too, the sideways smile? e:And that post really cements I think why 'Cliffs of Dover take 37' is still lazy af. You can use in-jokes and references to older cartoons to make neat and subtle secondary readings, not just to save time on drawing the background.

Kurtofan posted:Is mac saying bobbies are bad scroungers or that they are unjustly held back by cuts?? The implication is pretty clearly that public sector workers are more concerned with getting a pay rise than doing their jobs, and also (judging by the amount of food/drink around) lazy and not really underpaid at all.
