David Squires is a UK cartoonist who writes a weekly cartoon for The Guardian. It's very well observed and unlikely to be intelligible to anyone without a good understanding of football.

But can you tell why I posted this week's strip? Which panel pushed me over the edge?

Is the singing steppe marmot supposed to be Ed Sheeran?

And likewise, I know and care nothing for soccer but found this cartoon hilarious.

Yes - he was sat next to David Beckham yesterday and sang a song in the England dressing room after the game vs the Czechs earlier in the tournament

Thanks!

It’s a testament to Squires’ skill that the caricature was so good and clear I was able to identify someone I have only vague cultural awareness of.

He's a British national, he played for LA Galaxy for a bit then moved to a French team and donated his entire salary from that to a children's charity.

He's also not playing for England, he just watched the game, he retired many years ago. He hasn't played on the English national team in over a decade.

More importantly, Beckham is going to be 69 next year. I understand that for some people he's the only football man they know, but it's easy to deduce he's not on any team anymore, let alone England's national team.

A few people mentioned it, but this comic is the very next one. I don't think there are any more comics that are explicitly about the chain, but for a while the mouseover text was all changed to "Long John Silvers, where dreams go to die." At least until the author was contacted by corporate and told to knock it off.

The eyes on the sperm are purely for artistic effect, so it's okay if they're not anatomically accurate

Also, doesn't it take a fuckton of sperm to weaken the egg's wall? So really all the fastest sperm do is smash their faces into a wall and die?

Not only that, but at the time the entire page was redone with a Long John Silvers background and banner ads on all sides. Blue and yellow everywhere.

Some of the punchlines of PFSC remain really funny to me, even if they're nonsensical out of context. Like "Paris: just another bullshit town" or "Oh no, pigeons".
I have used the Paris line on my parents when they went there, and otherwise subbed in the names of other great world cities as appropriate. I hope one day to have the nerve to poke someone in the chest to punctuate the phrase.
