Paul Thomas was a bit weird in that I think he was a bit apolitical and didn't always agree with the editorial content of what he drew for them. He's since written and illustrated a 'tabloid history' of birdwatching and uses his Twitter for birding photos

I wonder if the Mail are actually going to bother replacing him by having a political cartoonist in tyool 2019 or if their readers' hatred of change of any kind was the only thing keeping them from showing him the door.

In a shocking development that surprises everyone, the Daily Mail brings in Steve Bell to replace Mac. That'd be fun.

At least Mac had his own visual style (heavily cribbed from Giles, but even so). All the colourful identikit grotesques from the other cartoonists kind of blur together. Without the names on them, I'd struggle to tell one artist from another most of the time. I dunno, as abominable as the content often was, I truly had a soft spot for that oldfashioned monochrome three-quarter perspective of his. As happy as I am that Mac is loving off, and whoever replaces him can only be better, it's like seeing the decommissioning of the last Routemaster bus, or slamdoor trains, as that old style art will never return. I know, I know, it's a terrible opinion and I should be ashamed of it. But gently caress, at least scrolling through the thread you could recognise one of his cartoons instantly. It's a sorry indictment of British political cartooning that the rest have become so hard to tell apart. I swear, if I see one more gurning Teresa May looking at an object with the word “brexit” hamfistedly painted on it...

First Mail cartoon of the new year is a monochrome three-quarter perspective of a gurning Teresa May looking at a literal gollywog called Brexit. The first finger on the Mac's paw closes. Alternative distinctive art style/abominable content outcome: Ben Garrison

The Indy one's name is written in an alphabet only found on the walls of the inner chamber of a long abandoned temple in the desert south of Iram of the Pillars. Pronouncing it correctly is 'snakes', which is to say snakes will exit your mouth.

Hahaha oh wow yesssss YESSSS  I love how he seems to have switched to the caption-under-the-cartoon style just because That's What The Mail Does rather than it working well for his cartoons. I don't think it does but it's hard to tell when they're so awful to begin with Paul Thomas is the terrible taste I love to hate

He used to be the cartoonist for the Daily Express, likes hiding foxes and badgers in his cartoons and loves drawing elaborate tattoos on working class people. He drew some horrific poo poo in line with the Express' hateful rhetoric, but we're not sure he actually agreed with all of it. He is bad at drawing recognisable famous people. He should fit right in at the new Mail.
