Is this just a biased view from the American Cartoon thread or are there any good grotesque American cartoonists out there?

Theres the The Pain guy, if you consider his style grotesque. I don't think that he himself would though.

My view is very zoomed in and I think that its Osbourne on the pin. Though really all it is is a black blob (his goofy suit,) a tan blob on top of it, and another black blob on top of that (his hair.)

I dunno how it is in Britain but unless you have a race horse or work horse your horse is worth jack poo poo over here. I saw one being given away on Craigslist the other day. Others are just left lose to run wild (in actuality to be rounded up by animal control and then auctioned off to the dog food company for a hundred bucks a pop.)

I've seen one in Glasgow. He asked me what my building was as I was leaving work, then followed me and told me that the council high rises we were walking past were filled with immigrants secretly flown into Heathrow at 3 in the morning. Also apparently the only history book you'll ever need is the bible. Possibly a Daily Express reader.


... What? Is this just some idiom I'm not getting?

They are in the Alzheimers ward, the head of the NHS (conveniently) forgot something.

Bird is below Kim's hand. Two of the bobbles form his eyes, they have little balls in them for the pupils. A cleverly hidden job, I'd say.

Gotta love the Torygraph trying to make it out as partiers / protesters are all part of Black Bloc type kind of thing. There will always be some there but they're not the loving core of it, how its drawn you're meant to hate them but like the other 3. Note the policeman has his weapon under his waist, where as the anarchist has it above (with added Molotov!).

So? The whole thread is full of people doing that to groups that they dislike.

No, I questioned the conclusion you came to, you can talk about it as much as you want but if you single it out negatively for things that frankly a lot of political cartoons do I'll make a note of it.

I believe that your opinion, that it shows's the creator's political enemies to be bad people, but on the other hand that that is all well and good for a political cartoon. The worst are actually things like Mac which, as far as I can tell, typically say absolutely nothing.

I'm amused that the two people bitching about Collins are American. Maybe they don't think it's political because it isn't smothered in labels and cross-hatching? :haw:

I never said it wasn't political, though it often isn't, I said it was boring and unfunny.

Yes hello welcome to the UK Political Cartoons thread where we discuss political cartoons from the UK. You may have to forgive me being a bit UK-centric in this thread about cartoons from the UK.

Except we are discussing a person's (assumably not from the UK) decision in another thread. Unless you were discussing Bell's decision to call him Niglet instead of that LPer's discison to call whoever that was Paki.

Yes, I was saying that it's daft as gently caress to compare a Hawaiian slur to a homophonic English slur.

Paki is not a Hawaiian slur, its an English one. In Hawaiian it probably just means "fire" or something.

Possibility of three foxes (a new record) if those things in the Dalek's grills are fox ears. Other than that pretty dang meh day for comics. If anything its the Mail one that comes off best, the others are all rather samey.

I think the bird is part of the tree's bark. I found two things that could be extremely rudimentary birds. Bit disappointing really but sometimes a v shape is all you get.

Without the union label you can't actually tell what Ed is cleaning up after. In this case it was either necessary or you had to give the horse a miners hat or whatever stereotypical union attire is over there. Although at the same time even with the complete comic I can't off the top of my head remember donors conspiring to rig a Conservative election. Do those candidates that Cameron parachuted into safe districts count?
