I read Peter's lines in Will Self's voice. He's probably critiqued a baby at some point, right?

So that IoS cartoon is a parody, right? The whole "gun control laws represented as a gun" thing really confuses the message. Not that it's stopped dozens of US cartoonists.

Paul Thomas reminds me of Terry Wise over in the main politoons thread. They have the same lovely draftsmanship, unrecognisable caricatures and addiction to having a character pointing and laboriously explaining the joke. Plus the terrible opinions mixed with a tiny bit of fear at being increasingly old and irrelevant in a terrifying new world.

If there's a line I've not seen it on the A1. There is a Welcome to Scotland sign though, and it's always amused me that there's no corresponding Welcome to England sign on the other side.

The most obvious "a thing happened" is Justin Bieber's DUI, and it would even fit the point Bob's trying to make. None of the specifics match though.

I would be very very surprised if Paul Thomas had anywhere near the technical knowledge to ctrl-c and ctrl-v. He does redraw the same scenes and poses over and over and over though, and the genius of his "two quasi-human monstrosities walk past a Big News Sign and comment on it" is it can be infinitely reused.

Cloud Potato posted:Bear in mind it's yesterday's cartoon; I see it more as "After all the campaigning and drama, it's time to vote". Yeah I considered that too but the unattended ballot sticks out. A queue of voters (with no overt Yes / No attire) outside a polling station might have made the point better.

They hardly ever seem to have a point beyond "Ed Miliband looks silly; you can tell he does because we've drawn him like a plasticine man in this otherwise unremarkable situation", and there are about ten thousand of them. At the very least it's stopped wags calling him Beaker, which never made sense given Danny Alexander is in the cabinet.

My point is that Putin likes to project a tough, manly image (both as a person and on the international stage), but they're both total fictions. His posturing has resulted in sanctions that have dealt Russia's economy a significant blow and outside of Russia and their neighbours his influence is limited. So when right-wing cartoonists show him as "strong" and <insert leader here> as weak it means they're thick enough to be taken in by his PR campaign. It also infers that they want their leader to be more like Putin and... invade a country? Oppress the gays a bit?

If your cartoon is anti-Putin then simply repeating the tough-guy image put around by his PR team is a curious decision to say the least.

Cliff Racer posted:Its not actually the second time he used Medusa, I'm positive that it happened at least once before, at least in my time following these threads. I also tend to find it annoying because derivative works like it will never quite be able to be as damning as the thing they are derived from. That especially caught my eye a couple months ago when one of the "better" cartoonists aped an old cartoon about Tammany Hall. All I was left thinking of was how much better the original was at making its point, it was a much more damning portrayal of boss Tweed than whoever it was the current cartoonist was on about. (BBC scandal stuff I think?) It could have been Dave Brown in the Indy, he loves his parodies of classic art. Scrolling through the OP I noticed this fantastic Steve Bell toon from 2012: Even with all the monstering Ed Miliband received in the run-up to the election, I don't think anyone came close to this. It's utterly devastating. I love it.
