Fearless posted:Is the trend of some artists to depicting the UK PM as a gross looking red thing a reference to anything other than ruddy cheeks? Better a red-faced blob thing than drawing his ponderous erect-nippled breasts which was the other characteristic obsessed over by the cartoonists in this thread. That aspect seems to have mercifully faded.   Or he could be the classic "some guy" as Paul Thomas drew him...

Fearless posted:One of the things that I appreciate about this thread as opposed to the main one is the generally higher quality of the art-- in all its horrible glory. This cartoon looks, well, American. I think Paul Thomas was lovely in a distinctly British way. Bland opinions, Fetish for Royalty/Contempt for Lower Classes, Cluttered drawing style. His American equivalent would have a not-thought-out opinion (usually "Obama Bad!") and rather than fill up all the white space with their lack of drawing skills, be as lazy as possible -- maybe a guy or a bumpersticker on a single object in a blank void.  Yes, that is supposed to be Cameron and he always drew him with that head. Check the old thread for countless examples. Particularly striking when he has his uncredited "friend" do the head of whatever political figure "Cameron" is interacting with in a completely different line-weight.

It's a couple hours of work and then a lot of free time. Is there anything especially worth doing/seeing in March?

Mousepractice posted:March, specifically? Hampstead Heath for the nice view, it's lovely in spring. Soul Train 5th Anniversary Party at the Bussey Building. Ann Christopher drawings at the Royal Academy. The North London Derby. Maybe March. It's up to me, I have to set my own schedule. I'm being flown in to do some teaching (in London) but they asked me when I want to come. I was in two years ago and visited all the major galleries, had a train to Leeds mysteriously rerouted to Manchester for no reason and then got rained on a lot. Had those experiences already. Really, truly... I want to see all the beautiful moments captured in these politoons in real life!

Cloud Potato posted:If you're serious about combining your trip with political cartoonery, there's The Political Cartoon Gallery & Cafe, although I've not been there myself so can't speak to its splendor. I was ready to run down there and drop 250 for this Maggie mug but if they can't even spell her husband's name right, they don't deserve my patronage. Hrmph.  I'd rather stake out a pond Boris is likely to fall into, but I probably will load up on used cartoon annuals at a charity shop if I don't make it to The Political Cartoon Gallery & Cafe (and the fancy looking comic book shop next door in the background of their photo). He's sort of merging Papa Kim and Baby Kim into a midpoint person here... or just doesn't give a poo poo.

Mr. Squishy posted:Weird that you assume she's a prostitute mate. The original comment was on the back of this cartoon:  drat my narrow-minded assumption that this isn't a totally voluntary love-match between a dumpy man and his five independant lady friends with giant tits, the sort who may in future enjoy wearing a ruffled merry-widow sans robe to her children's school (aka the group of women who are not "fat ugly wives" in Mac-land). Weird you assume I'm a "mate." (Unless you said I was assuming the cartoon woman is a "prostitute mate.") I apologize for being a sexist for generalizing the women Mac draws as sex objects as "prostitutes." They are slags. nobodyssweetheart fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Jan 29, 2016 |

Even more disappointing when, reading the linked article, Bell could have done a poo poo-eyed/vomiting (etc. what he does) caricature of Jacob Rees-Mogg vs. Cam. I'll count my blessings that it's not another CORBYN BAD SUBMARINE COMMUNIST rally.

Overminty posted:The snake is Farage, I'm guessing the person in the middle is IDS and I don't know who's holding Thatcher up. 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.) I confirm that's an IDS.

Niric posted: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. According to Cristina Odone in The Observer, Dacre has a reputation towards underlings of "verbal abuse [and] a drill sergeant's delight in public humiliation"[55] which also includes verbal abuse.[17] According to Nick Davies in his book Flat Earth News[56] his staff call his morning editorial meetings the "Vagina Monologues" because of his habit of calling everybody a "oval office". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Dacre (An amusing supporting detail in un-encyclopaedological language) nobodyssweetheart fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Feb 19, 2016 |
