 Steve Bell  Steve Bell is an English political cartoonist, whose work appears in The Guardian and other publications. He is known for his left-wing views and caricatures. Bell is fond of parodying famous paintings. He has been going since the 70s. http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/stevebell+content/video A handful on Youtube and most are on that guardian link. (Like the Osborne bum nose one). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8aT1WeiJ6s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iquJvlEXhJ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouyoK96G5q0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dczJMQO4AsQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpilXpPt4y8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CjHEtRxJb8     ______________________________________     ______________________________________     ______________________________________     ______________________________________     ______________________________________     ______________________________________     ______________________________________     ______________________________________         ______________________________________                      _____________________________________________ Martin Rowson  Martin George Edmund Rowson is a British cartoonist and novelist. His genre is political satire and his style is scathing and graphic. His work frequently appears in The Guardian and The Independent. He also contributes freelance cartoons to other publications, such as The Daily Mirror and the Morning Star. He also tweets quite alot compared to all the other cartoonists. https://twitter.com/MartinRowson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeoeIPG_YrY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdTS45f2qgk He also did it an updated verison of Gulliver's Travels. quote:Dr Gulliver, Oxfam's "mutilations strategy" manager, is driving through a Paris underpass in 1997 when his car crashes, flinging him into a strangely shallow sea. On the horizon is Lilliput, now ruled by a beaming, Blair-like dictator ("tough on eggs and tough on the causes of eggs") and populated by shoppers and censors. The country's "progress" is down to the original Lemuel Gulliver, whose accounts of Enlightenment Europe helped shape a dystopian society that subsists on slurry and cant. Like his ancestor, our hero is soon swept up by the giant Brobdingnagians – who, alarmed at Lemuel's tales, have engineered a tactical retreat into savagery – before visiting floating islands, warring wizards and talking horses. The satire is often broad and the modern targets are rarely surprising, but the Guardian cartoonist's latest is a thoroughly enjoyable update of Swift's classic. The artwork serves up grotesque detail with glee, whether honing in on parasites or picturing the prone Gulliver, surrounded by helicopters and a great mass of miniature men.                      Note this one, this is how you do labels. Some of Rowson's older stuff.       __________________________________________] Chris Riddell  Chris Riddell is a British illustrator and occasional writer of children's books and a political cartoonist for The Observer. He has won two Kate Greenaway Medals, the British librarians' annual award for the best-illustrated children's book, and two of his works were commended runners up, a distinction dropped after 2002. He has done mass amounts of books (seriously its pretty impressive) , both as an author and illustrator eg:  However he also does Politicial Cartoons, alot of the time they tend to be over labeled which kind of spoils the masterpieces of his skilful art. Once in awhile its spot on as he didn't  it and over label it.           ________________________________________ Thatcher: A Dole Playing Game http://imgur.com/a/zwHfd  quote:The most successful comic strips depend more on the right villain than any hero or combination of protagonists, so this quirky little oddment was better placed than most for success. Created by British legends Pat Mills and Hunt Emerson this strident, polemical satire puts the boot in on the appalling tactics and philosophies of the third term Thatcher government with savagely hilarious art and stunningly biting writing.

Christian Adams Can't really find much about him, so here is his own words from his site.   He works for the Torygraph [well if he works for Spectator where else is he meant to make his cash?]. Somehow he got cartoonist of the year, which I still can't work out why. http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/news/content/view/full/126997 quote:To be trapped in a room with Britain's leading cartoonists is to feel very vulnerable - you expect barbed arrows to suddenly start flying at you. But, in the flesh, they are in fact a very friendly bunch and disarmingly peaceable.        How did he win this? _________________________________ Bob Moran  Bob Moran is weird, not much known about him apart from: quote:Bob is a freelance cartoonist and illustrator. He graduated from the illustration degree at University College Falmouth in 2008 and has since worked for a range of national and international clients.

I don't know if he really needs to be there, just that I've seen far more of his cartoons than I ever wanted to and he really does make you appreciate Bell and Rowson et al, but we've already got Mac in the OP for that. Back in my second year of uni, my mam got me a calendar of Matt cartoons. She'd never seen any of them, but my boyfriend at the time was also called Matt and she noticed it in a shop and thought it'd be sweet to have something to remind me of him in the holidays when we were apart. On the first of each month she and I would turn the calendar over and groan in unison. It was always something like a couple of talking heads on a snowy day saying "ha ha I hope global warming hurries up". Or another couple of talking heads saying something like "this news story sure is a thing that happened". It wasn't outright offensive like Mac, but just really dull or nonsensical or demonstrated a real lack of understanding (like with the global warming thing, climate change fucks up the Gulf Stream and makes it snow more in Britain). Like the kind of daft joke you might make as small talk at the bus stop really early in the morning when you're not quite with it. At least, I don't think he's as offensive as Mac. Like these: the "joke" is so bewildering that I don't know if it's homophobic or not.   There was another one he did a while ago about a church being infested with gay bats or something, I didn't get that one either. Maybe he's actually a genius and my mam and I just don't get his jokes or appreciate his art.

A fresh new thread! Have the Stephen Collins ones from the guardian that I posted in the other cartoon thread. (He has a non political book out next year called 'The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil') One about the Education secretary Michael Gove being terrible.  What the Queen wanted the Jubilee to be like.  On the conservatives branding 'Big Society'.  North Korea and folk music being the real threat. (Thumbnailed as for some reason it is massive.)  Also two that are less political: Other people's children are hell.  Ask doctor Internet.

One thing I've always liked about certain British cartoonists is the love of the grotesque, e.g. Scarfe, Bell and Rowson. The savagery they draw their subjects (victims?) really makes you think they care about the point they are trying to put across. Even warped and misshapen you can still make out who they are trying to represent though. I just don't see the same in American cartoons, 90% of the time you can't even tell who they are portraying and it feels like they don't even give a poo poo. Is this just a biased view from the American Cartoon thread or are there any good grotesque American cartoonists out there?
