The reason there are so few good cartoonists is being consistently funny in a restricted format like a one-panel political cartoon is really drat difficult, as much as anything else.

Guardian: Phil Disley on the Tories' 2013 economic difficulties.  Iain Green on rail fare rises. Inflation-busting price rises are going to make 2013 even more miserable for cash-strapped commuters.  Have a guess. Torygraph:    Cartoonist of the year!  Independent:  Daily  : quote:“….and guess what, Mother. Bernard is sticking to his resolution. Nearly 12 hours since he touched a cigarette.

To consistently make a funny cartoon in one panel that doesn't have 30 labels is really, really, really difficult. To have it be quality and not miss your deadline is almost impossible. I really am impressed with guys like Rowson and Bell because they make visually pleasing, colored, detailed cartoons that are often humorous and free of DEBT written all over them.

IDS stealing the valuables from the dead person's hand is a nice touch that I missed on the first look.

Guardian: Obese people could be monitored to check whether they are taking exercise and have their benefits cut if they fail to do so   (timg'd as abit big). Telegraph:   http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20896050 When will Argentina shut the gently caress up? They do this saber ratting whenever they are hated by their public to score some cheap political points. They do it every couple of months and Britain generally does nothing back, however since the Falklands War got Thatcher elected again. I think maybe Cameron might go for the same. quote:Buenos Aires, January 3rd, 2013 In response Murdoch did the same thing but in Argentina newspaper. Pretty much adding [more] petrol to the fire.  Independent:  And have a spitting image. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jINZBOxdja8 What do we call it when people go around stealing other peoples property? YOU! A free market economy? RUBBISH!

Fluo posted:Telegraph: I probably shouldn't find this so amusing but I've gotten a lot of schadenfreude from the middle class screeching now that benefits cuts are happening to them as well. They probably don't even consider themselves to be really on benefits, benefits are something that scum receive after all and they're Valuable Members Of Society. So their payments are completely justified unlike that chav on the dole I bet he's living it up on his £71 a week that bastard. Ideally this would convince them that the Tories and their neoliberal policies are designed to gently caress everyone over but I'm sure they'll continue being as myopic as ever.

That Cameron one is fairly low effort. The second panel is a copy of the first, except with the arm and the form held aloft. What's the goat in the Rowson one that IDS is trying to persuade to jump through the flaming hoop?

It's definitely scapegoat, googling the word brings up paintings of goats with red cloths tied around their horns, which is apparently mentioned in the bible as being symbolic of the community's sins, so they tie it to the animal just before they drive it away.

Cameron did start out talking about austerity until 2015 or 2016, but now it's triple dipped the economy he's talking about it lasting until 2020 instead of dropping it like a sane person would. I'm honestly surprised to see the Torygraph print something so openly critical of Cameron.

And factor in that Major was so boring he was almost invisible, whereas Kinnock walked down the beach with Glynys, promptly faceplanted himself into the sea and then got up and did a "victory punch the air" thing, which was Urrrrgh, and then got up at conference and shouted "WELLALLROOOOIIIIGHT" like some crazy welsh-yank hybrid which was double Urrrrrrrghhhhhno, both of which events got a ton of mileage in the press and on tv. It was more Kinnock losing it, and less Major winning it.
