Noreaus posted: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.

Jedit posted: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.

Peel posted:Bell is magical. 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)

Crameltonian posted:I guess the quote is meant to make him look like a glorious hero (albeit a FRENCH 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

You should send an e-mail to Steve Bell explaining this stuff Fluo, I mean he might not read it but it's worth a try.

Apparently it was one of Stalin's favorite paintings This can't be posted without this also happening in the background https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WD0WVL-HjE

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.

Niric posted: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!"
