I'm not sure I'd call climate change and Brexit good.

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?

The one on the right isn't meant to be Cameron, is he?

If so - loving hell, that's poor.

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.

Strange how often people ask/complain why Cameron is a pink condom blob but no one minds Osborne is in a gimp mask, chains, swim fins, and pig tail.

I didn't ask because I didn't realize that was supposed to be an actual person. I'm not British, so I'm only passing familiar with UK politics.

Watch any of his appearances on Have I Got News for You (they're on YouTube) for his rise to "Nation's favorite lovable oaf."
Pay attention to the words, though, being lobbed at him that he mumblingly defers in a charming fashion. He's poo poo and he knows he is.

One of many: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObY4_HfhtyY

I'm of the camp that he really is that clueless and lazy (with an entitled egotistical core).
Christ, he let Gove manipulate him into joining Brexit. How dumb does he have to be?

Was he really manipulated into joining? I seem to recall that Boris has been opposed to the EU since he was a journalist.

I don't think he cared, really. He just wanted to oppose Cameron. Boris didn't really take positions on anything (except his mistresses - hey-o!).

Here, according to the Telegraph, Boris was waffling and over lunch is very dear pal The Gover and his wife convinced him:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/30/how-boris-johnson-was-brought-to-his-knees-by-the-cuckoo-nest-pl/

...And then HE STABBED BORIS IN THE... knees. (I'm going from cartoons that Michael Gove is two feet tall.)

Well, I had no idea about all that. Thank you.

I did, however, know that Gove was a right shithead and this solidifies that opinion.

Why is the gun tethered to the table?

The old Webley and Enfield revolvers carried by British and Empire officers during the Victorian period and world wars had a lanyard ring on the handle. This lanyard went around one's neck so the handgun wouldn't be lost if one's grip failed. It's similar in function to sword knots, which were originally to tether a sabre to an officer's or cavalry trooper's wrist.

I may be misreading this, but I can't help but wonder if Boris's new job is a means of getting a potential challenger out of the way long enough that he embarrasses himself sufficiently that he is no longer a threat.

I appreciate Mac's ability to slice through decency and belch up the most reprehensible poo poo humanly possible. It was efficient to loathe his work, because he so regularly dredged up something freshly vile to piss off the literate reader.

Paul Thomas is but a pale shadow of that. Offensive in his relative inoffensiveness.

Paul Thomas clearly doesn't know that Moose Milk is real and delicious.

E: It's a holiday drink served in Canadian military messes. The recipes vary somewhat depending on the mess/service, but it's basically an eggnog/rum/milkshake kinda deal.

You have to be pretty loving stupid to miss the point as spectacularly as he regularly does. I figure that kind of breathtaking, inspired idiocy has to be painful enough on its own; there's nothing we can do to him that could possibly be more painful.
