I like Ziggy's (I think that's the name) "Scene and Heard" bits in the Private Eye, but they aren't really cartoons.

Got to agree with this and I think they qualify as cartoons.

But the guy who does the has-beeno should be shot. I don't know how he's managed to ruin such a brilliant idea.

This one's a gift that keeps on giving. Britannia is (I think) Theresa May and her plume is made of £100 notes. The fat pig is a piggy bank - overstuffed, of course - with a sprig of mistletoe hanging from its tail inviting you to kiss its arse. The boat's serial number is DIP3, referring to the triple dip recession, and the Tories are rowing it with silver spoons - presumably the ones they had in their mouths when they were born. Well, I say "rowing"; Osborne appears to be using his to stop a drowning person getting aboard the boat. There are no shops on the high street, just a food bank and an unemployment benefit office. And that's just the ones I can recall.

The Lib Dem's are being hung out to dry, all the people are the man from Munch's Scream.

If Cameron carries on loving up so badly over Europe then he's for the chopping block/ meat is in the news!

The art style tends to be awful crosshatch unless its something special like that one.

E.G this was their latest one.

What's your problem with crosshatching?

This is not a good cartoon, it's lazy and weak, but Clegg made me laugh.


And even the Torygraph has been taking a line against the Coalition these last couple of days, and not from an obvious 'they aren't right-wing enough' perspective. Is this normal?

The Torygraph will still support the government if it comes down to a crunch but they represent the majority of the party who don't really like Cameron or the coalition and would much rather the government be run by someone else, like that nice chap BoJo what what. It's just your standard British carping.

Remember a lot of tories are still very bitter with Cameron because they were unable to win a majority in an election against Gordon Brown (which is a fair complaint I suppose)

I guess the quote is meant to make him look like a glorious hero (albeit a :siren: FRENCH :siren: one) but the actual cartoon makes him look like an idiot on a Light Brigade-esque charge. As it's the Telegraph I'm genuinely not sure whether or not that's intentional.

this is totally what I read into it. Everyone opposes him, his allies are deserting him (you can see them running away) but he is still charging forward because he's a pompous arse.

I mean there is no way anyone supporting Gove would draw him with full Pob-face

Loving the reference here to this painting called "The Volga Barge-Haulers" who were employed basically as slaves because it was cheaper than upgrading to steam engines. Apparently it was one of Stalin's favorite paintings :goonsay:

Daily Mail:

A man who wrestled with a shark in Australia has been sacked from his job because he was supposed to be on sick leave.


That story was seriously awful. Man is stressed and doctor tells him to take a holiday, he goes to Australia to visit his family, see a shark about to attack some kids so jumps into sea to stop them, his employer says that because he was capable to stop a shark killing some children he should have been at work instead.

As someone said, if you're already stressed watching some kids get killed so you can keep your job is probably going to make it worse.

I heard there was a place in Portland that sells marmite, but also that the weather there is as bad as Britain's and that the prawns are normal sized.

Since this is the Telegraph, at first I assumed this must a malicious cartoon about David Miliband stepping down as an MP to head the (US based) International Rescue Committee (not to say that he hasn't made a bundle since losing the Labour leadership (see Private Eyes passim), but that's hardly relevant here). But, shocklingly, this seems to be saying that privatising public good-providing services is a bad thing. Am I missing something awful here?

I think the Telegraph friendly message you are missing is "BLOODY YANKS!"

LOST IN TRANSLATION



This is weird because I bet if we granted the translators asylum Mac would have made a cartoon berating the government for letting dirty foreigners cone here.
