Really appreciate you including Mac recently, it's almost too easy to take Steve Bell/ Riddell etc. for granted. These three are just drat glorious:    And the one a couple of days ago where Theresa May was listening in was magnificent. Might start photoshopping the labels out of Riddell.

The comic is probably nothing more complicated than the Queen disliking the tories when she actually meets them and switching her vote to the nearest protest group, i.e. UKIP. It was probably drawn before the eugenics story.

Coohoolin posted:Now this is something I find genuinely confusing. Why? What's so bad about Salmond? What is it about him that gets people's sashes in a twist? I'm a Scot who's swithering over independence, but Alex Salmond always comes across as a self-publicist and full of talk. My impression of him is very much a populist, and his cosying up to Rupert Murdoch is something I intensely dislike. Still, the SNP have done lovely things with not cutting everything and I definitely support them over Labour and (holy poo poo they're nuts) the tories.

The Mantel story is the best PR coup for Cameron in a while. All he had to do was say nice things about Kate Middleton and the Daily Mail's hysterical readers (who he might have lost a bit over Europe and gay marriage) are pacified, without any negative press at all. Perfect! In a just world he'd be called out for taking time out of a supposedly massively important trip in India to comment on a storm in a teacup and misunderstand it completely, while pandering to the press in the post-Leveson world. It is nice to see the other cartoons focusing on him screwing up in other ways though.

What the hell, Fluo, I'd never heard of that at all. The craziest part of that video is the town council member saying "we'll have to write to our MPs to check it doesn't happen again" rather than "HOLY poo poo" I felt like a total conspiracy nut watching those videos. That's completely insane. quote:Along with other servicemen, Maddison was offered 15 shillings and a three-day leave pass for taking part in the experiments. He had planned to use the money to purchase an engagement ring for his girlfriend, Mary Pyle.

I don't think Fluou's opinion is exactly that weird? I'd be amazed if Richard Dawkins himself didn't agree that he can come across as inflammatory and smug on the whole religion thing.

I think the Express is actually worse than Mac's offensiveness. It assumes the audience is so stupid they'll miss the context of Prince Harry being in the U.S., the Statue of Liberty, a skyline of skyscrapers, the Chrysler building and not one but four massive American flags, so they've broken the dialogue to point out that yes, this is a comic strip based in the U.S. The rest are just dire, aside from Steve Bell (as usual!).

Aha! A very clever take on the classic "lions led by donkeys" quote. The cartoonist has inserted another player into the quote: the sheep. They represent the media, shown here as a group of stalkers wielding cameras while standing idly by. The cartoon makes the very valid point that the government (offscreen donkeys) are held enthralled to the media's sensationalism, and the repercussions of these populist, hatemongering opinions falls on the poorest of society (represented here by the lion, the British working class man enrolled in the army), which in turn are then reported without greater context by the media. A comment on how the masquerade feeds itself in a cyclical fashion. A Good Cartoon. The Supreme Court fucked around with this message at 13:47 on May 31, 2013 |

The man: "I'm sorry?" Panel 3: the pencil: "normally we've drawn an anthropomorphised object by now, and defined a personality quirk too" Panel 4: the man: "I'm sorry, I've got a headache" Panel 5: the pencil: "use me! Abuse me! How about shy curtains? A right-wing pigeon? Come on, I need this!" Panel 6: the man: "I'm... I don't know. It's just not working for me any more" Panel 7: THE MAN WALKS AWAY Panel 8: the pencil, now lying on the desk: "wanker"

Dimitri the Russian oligarch sits on his boat and worries that the left-wing Greek government are going to crack down on his tax avoidance, while the Greek peoples are represented by a qualified accountant who lost her job due to the financial crash, and is now working as a maid just to put food on the table.

I thought the rhyme was pretty inherent, plus the steel bit made me question the whole thing as the industry is doing the opposite of staying in Britain.Cliff Racer posted:Its almost like most of the people who complain about over-labelling just do it because they see other people doing it, not because the labels are actually talking down to the audience or ruining the cartoon. I'm not sure why you think that Riddell's overlabelling is contentious, he's the guy who puts stuff like "Russia" on a bear and "Tory backbenchers" on the blue monsters on Cameron's shoulders.  I've done this before and I generally get rid of all the text for effect - I like the art better without it - and it's clear easily 90% of the text he includes is superfluous The Supreme Court fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Oct 25, 2015 |
