Quite shocking that Riddell didn't label the bear. Green shoots of progress or authorial oversight?

In keeping with the biplane theme it could be more of an FU-2

Do people still want Squires's Australian Sport cartoon?

Definitely! Need something to cleanse the palate after Mac.

The Rothermere/"Brexshirts" paper in his pocket makes me think he is the owner of the Daily Mail or just a general Daily Mail reader/true believer.
(I'm not savvy enough to know what the real Viscount Rothermere looks like; if indeed he has three rows of teeth. He's probably inbred enough to have three rows of teeth.)

As others have said it's Paul Dacre, though I'm not 100% sure about the specific significance of the teeth. Could be just to emphasise both the Mail and his own personal rabid ferocity, a reference to his legendary foul and abusive mouth (receiving a double or even triple cunting from Dacre is apparently a well-known thing in the Mail offices), or it might be a sly way of insinuating that he is incapable of doing anything other than lying through his teeth.

The Indie thinks the report has a rosy view?

I think it's supposed to represent her taking off the rose tinted glasses, with the light (of truth) shining through the darkness but the tint on the report itself makes it a little unclear. It's a neat idea, since Saville famously wore specs like that and the metaphor works, but there's something a bit off in the execution

I've honestly not seen anyone use "Benghazi" to attack Clinton outside of the US politoon thread. Is it ever mentioned in the papers here?

Dear Mac,
Why aren't you dead yet you hideous old shite?
Yours faithfully
Everybody who has had to read your dreadful cartoons

Is there any particular reason Mac has decided to spend the season of giving, peace on earth and goodwill towards all men directing much of his odious ire towards international aid?

Riddell really likes huge splashes of one colour.

Perhaps today he was especially rushed - there aren't even any labels!

I thought at first that the normal looking gay couple in the right-most photograph was evidence, however meagre, than Mac is being slowly, slightly, stroppily pushed or dragged towards something approaching modern cultural norms. But looking at the other photos more closely it seems like they're all intended to depict imbalanced/"wrong" relationships (old/young, large/small, masculine woman/feminine man).

So, in conclusion, gently caress Mac.

I think we should keep Mac. He's loving awful, but helps remind us of the kind of commentators (and readers) out there - retreating into a bubble is never a good thing.

Seconding this.
