Every now and then I see an actual competent joke in Mac cartoons and wonder if he's quietly being ghostwritten by a younger rightwing poo poo, but no way anyone under the age of 60 would look at that steaming poo poo up there and decide to hand it in to the editors

gently caress off mac

I remember being worried for a while that the days of Michael Gove Battles The Aliens was over and Collins was happily setting into a rut of inanimate objects with quirky personalities but luckily that didn't end up happening. Political Collins can do no wrong.

Is it just me or is Scarfe not particularly good? His one of thatcher being haunted by the Belgrano was pretty badass but I don't remember any cartoons he's done in recent times being the least bit remarkable.

Hmm. Picking which of Brookes or Adams is the worst of those three Marmite gags is a tough decision. "Rich in hard brexit" doesn't really make sense, but I think Adams wins for the shoved-in "MAY MITE WILL" and the "100% Constitutional" which from any other cartoonist might be irony rather than blatant sickening cheerleading.

What does Mac think the biggest crime is that an evil clown could commit? a) having sex with a woman through deception, or b) defiling a man's property by having consensual sexual intercourse with her?

i'm pretty sure we had gotten "how to warm up poultry" pretty much down by the 1970s, so given the lack of detail from May and Trump, Corbyn's plan is clearly the best, a good cartoon

Goodness, I had thought I wouldn't see a new Scarfe that I had any kind of reaction to, let alone a positive one. I guess Trump is much more interesting a foil than the recent group of boring politicians.

Turns out there's a secret 30-day return ticket that I can only get by specifically asking the people at the station for and also I have to get it to a few stations past where I'm going for some drat reason, I know this only because one of the staff told me about it. I don't know what I did to get access to this secret train knowledge but I assume in ten years he'll come to my door asking me to kill someone in return for the £4.75 per round trip I saved.

Although at uni my (German) lecturer in multivariate analysis specifically used the price of rail travel between places as a helpful example of a measure that did not remotely obey the standard Euclidean axioms of distance between points, so at least the trains here are educational

Steve Bell has always had a very precarious balance on the line between running gags and just plain rehashing old jokes. I'm sure running off the white cliff has been used a few times by other cartoonists though, so it might just be the Symbol For Brexit established by a secret meeting of the british cartoonist cabal.

I know Adams just wanted to take what could be the last chance to draw bigmouth blow-up-doll Diane again, but I can't help but suspect there may well be contingency measures in place if a high-ranking member of the government is too ill to fulfil their duties.

Can anyone explain the Bell giant pants one?

It's a callback to Bell's caricature of John Major:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If..._(comic) posted:

John Major, who began appearing with underpants on the outside of the trousers of his suit, when it was claimed that he tucked his shirt into them. Bell referred to this as "the badge of an essentially crap Superman". (Ironically, this report turned out to have been false, having been made up by Alastair Campbell during his late days on the Daily Mirror[1]. Nevertheless, it fitted popular perceptions of Major's naive suburban incompetence so well that many people today still believe it to be true.)
