I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Honestly I just scroll past british politoons because it's always just a bunch of melting wax figures and whatever metaphors are being conveyed by the nonsensical images only make sense if accompanied by a Ben Garrison level of :words:.

Are there any British politoons that actually support their government? Maybe they've been filtered before entering this thread, but they always seem like a competition in presenting the (admittedly inept) government in the most nightmarish and grotesque forms imaginable.

There are, and the most tasteful of those politoonists are included.
Besides mac

Except right now the government is an indefensible pile of bollocks so youd be hard pressed to find anyone with two brain cells that supports them and isnt a tory ideologue.

All of our cartoons hate all of our politicians pretty much.

If you think that the dimwit in today's cartoon is Alfred E. Newman from Mad Magazine, you'd be wrong. Harvey Kurtzman, a cartoonist, and the original editor and creator of Mad first spotted the image on a postcard pinned to the office bulletin board of the editor of Ballantine Books . The image had, for years been used on comic postcards. In 1965 Mad was sued for copyright infringement by the widow of cartoonist Harry Spencer Stuff. She claimed it was a copy of Stuff’s caricature “The Original Optimist,” also known as “Me-worry?”, which he had copyrighted in 1914.
Mad Magazine argued that it had copied the picture from various materials dating back to 1911 and won the case.
