Did Paul Thomas have some traumatic experience involving Romanians a couple of weeks ago, or has he always been this obsessed with immigrants and I didn't notice? Maybe it's just that the royal family hasn't done anything interesting lately to distract him.

"AID FOR SOMALIA THEN PERHAPS AL QAEDA"! is that how it's listed in the log books Actually that one seems atypical for mac in a number of ways. I don't think he's ever been big on labels, for example. Cloud Potato posted:Express: Meanwhile, Paul Thompson demonstrates his ability to pass over any opportunity for any kind of political statement. (Except for when it comes to the Swarthy Bulgamanian Menace of course.) The Westminster cabinet coming up to Scotland? Is there some kind of political relevance here, some kind of event that could be commented on? Any statement that could be made, in either direction? I guess not, might as well just make a reference to shortbread. I'd almost prefer if it was something racist about how terrible the Scots are, at least then he'd be saying something.

I wonder if there was an initial period in his cartoons where the Big News Sign was actually anywhere near an actual newsagents most of the time, before his gradual disconnection from the world as it actually is led him to just shove it anywhere on the landscape.

I'm not entirely sure how to interpret this. I'd like to think Adams is making a nice point about how the highest honour we can give our soldiers is not making them work in a warzone anymore, but it looks more likely that he's proposing we keep British soldiers in said warzone indefinitely for the sole purpose of keeping them employed. Unless there's some story about mass layoffs in the Army that I've missed.

Most First Dog on the Moon strips would work fine as just text, and they would be good text, except I imagine he's made the calculation that fewer people would read that because there's fewer pretty pictures to look at. And I don't think many newspapers publish political humour columns.

I've recently been going through a couple of old Giles books and it's increasingly clear how anything of any worth in Mac's cartoons is stolen directly from there. Even the art style is pretty close. Mac's like Giles without any level of warmth towards his characters (and/or other human beings in general), and at least when Giles is using the standard 1960s views of race and gender he has the excuse of actually being from the 1960s. I might scan a few if I have some spare time, for comparison.

baka kaba posted:Everyone's really jumping on board that ship metaphor aren't they? Makes me wonder if they actually think they've come up with an original idea and go 'aw gently caress' when everyone else does the exact same thing, or if it's expected and nobody cares Are there many people except for us nerds who look at more than one political cartoon per day, though? I imagine they'd get away with it pretty easily.

Kegluneq posted:A surprising amount of effort for a 'A Thing Happened' cartoon. I'm fairly sure that's meant to be SamCam and Dave at the door there, which means Mac has by far the kindest Cameron caricature, of course. Of course he does. Unflattering caricatures are only for foreigns and the poors and the gays and people who looked at Mac funny once on the street. You know, the real menaces to society.

He has a long-suffering undead Giles locked in a basement somewhere, kept alive by complex machinery and witchcraft. No longer understanding who he is or what he is doing, just drawing as Mac shouts down punchlines from upstairs, it's all he knows now in his hellish unending existence.
