Look at that loving sloth :3:

Found a lecture thing with Steve Bell on youtube a wee while ago. Sound's a bit poo poo but it has lots of his '80s stuff etc.

Apparently his Bush caricature is a chimp in reference to this photo

This Green fellow is like a weird mix of Bell and Rowson, but kind of poo poo. Osborne and the fat cats look just like Rowson's.

also googled to see what Bell's fat cats looked like and :lol:

E^ his left eye is a bit bigger. Thatcher has that mad eye thing going on too.

If done well they are be amazing, however a lot of the time they're used to cover up laziness.

Nah, it's just a halftone method. This kind of nonsense belongs in the bad politoons thread < :mad:

I'm almost certain it's the Olympic torch. Something to do with the how the Olympics did a lot for the economy oh wait no they didn't. Hence, tiny torch held by growth sloth.

Indy:

He seems to start looking like Steve Bell's Cameron a lot more lately.

Indy guy relies on redoing famous paintings/photos waaay too much. And yeah, this isn't the first time he's copied a Bell caricature either (the little vampire fella).

Um, when I first saw this, I thought it looked like a racist Obama charicature.

Even if it was Obama, I'm not sure what would be racist about it. The tribal-looking headdress thing :confused:

It also appears that the world leaders were separated from the marchers (feet; top) so Rowson pretty much drew it how it was

Hello friends, do you have any real objections to Australian cartoons being posted in this thread? I ask because 3 politoon threads is definitely a crowd, and the Australian cartoons that are posted in the big thread mostly get overlooked so that people can pretend to be outraged over the latest Muir or Rall or whatever. There's normally only one post worth of cartoons itt per day, so the addition of your neighbours from the South Pacific could increase that to two!

also a couple of the Aussie artists are really good

It's Tony Abbott, who just looks like that. The guy who posts them is normally good with providing context
