TheDarkFlame posted:So, I know there aren't really standards for quality art in political cartoons, but what exactly is this? Having an art style that is sloppy and scratchy and kinda jank is one thing, but this looks something between a scribbled first-draft and some AI-generated garbage. I'd believe either, or somehow both. Look at whatever the hell that face is supposed to be, someone actually drew that and went "Sure, who cares, print it"? it's a bit cubist but better than Edith Pritchett's venn diagrams in the guardian (and I'm sure she got that gig based on merit and nothing to do with being the daughter of £650,000/yr cartoonist Matt Pritchett)
