J_RBG posted:Christ look at the people at the bottom of Blower's latest. He's incapable of drawing two pictures of the same person. Sturgeon's features also shrink further into her face in the second panel. Blower truly does blow I think you'll find the intense shock that comes from the unprecedented surprise announcement that the SNP quite likes the european union is enough to change the colour of your hair and completely morph the shape of your entire nose

I'd like to pretene "duncin" is a failed attempt at an amusing play on the word "dunce", but this is political cartoons so there's no reason to assume he's not just randomly changed some vowels and called it a day

I see him, Matt, and Mac, (among others) are all judges for "Young Cartoonist of the Year" awards this month. They get paid money for this poo poo, and are considered influential, their opinions important. gently caress. Everything.

When you have to write White House on a placard because you can't think of any way to make one of the most well known buildings in the world identifiable without a tag, that's when you know you're a great cartoonist.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:What in the hell is Mac going on about? Well you see, these incredibly well-informed and patriotic Australian bushmen, with only a broken TV and a bucket for entertainment, decided to phone the visiting royal party, who they of course knew were in country, and whose number they of course had, and of course being put straight through, to congratulate them on the pregnancy they of course heard about on their broken TV, and then there was a HILARIOUS misunderstanding because British people don't understand Australian vernacular English. I mean... could happen. Oh, and their response was Aussie slang for "gently caress off, Mac". It's meta.
