itt: cartoons abt uk politics that are bad cartoons

Liberty? it looks like a pig trying self-immolation before the train gets it.

Liberty is a pig trying self-immolation, do you see?

non-bukkake earth

i looked at this as an uplifting vision of the 2020s tbh

makes u tink does this Garrison fellow.

i believe tracer is arguing that the top-hatted pink head has been photoshopped onto the pale green body of liberty in an outrageous and subversive act of détournement

my preferred story is that some irony-poisoned very online leftie hired garrison to produce this (with detailed elements requested, as is i believe the garrison technique) (like jim'll paint it but TRENCHANT) and the wily and entrepreneurial BG* simply repurposed an old global warming cartoon to save time, with a quick corbs-head added here and a BOURG TEARS there

*BG? wait my mind is racing here

Oh wow, is that a top hat?!?!

it's from this:

another good cartoon in the thread reserved for bad ones >:(

No red star on Corbyn's hat = punishable by death.

*BG? wait my mind is racing here

ps know-your-meme informs me that top-hat guy is called "porky" and comes from a 1920 poster designed by mayakovsky no less

I always presume the fat cigar smoking evil capitalist in 20's/30's soviet propaganda is a Churchill caricature?

there was a good Nazi cartoon of Churchill, good in the relative sense obv

i mean as in "animated short" rather than sub-Matt caricature

i think the basic idea predates him*:

*but yes, he was after all secretary of state in 1919 when the various victors of WW1 invaded russia to "strangle the nascent soviet state", and often dressed like this (as, to be pedantic, did all other british politicians)

as the closest to a self-outed matt-stan on the boards, i am drawn to the concept of "sub-matt"

Submatt is a Happy Hardcore DJ from Dewsbury iirc

also i was gonna go with "sub-Mac" but i thought we should honour the great man's anniversary

Matt's cartooning style is a bit 'Sub-Wicked Willie', imho:

matt's scribbled cock-and-balls faces transcend the banky-esque DO YOU SEEs of joliffe--mayle* imo

*lol what

much hilarity from the SPectator

It's always a bad cartoon when it needs a written sign/poster to make any sense.

looking at that signature all i can think is 'asshoppers need not apply'

lol yes

This is quite something. Can't help thinking Dave Brown has some issues.

good grief!

woah

i must have missed that issue of 2000ad

LAWKS

Brown seems to be saying on twitter that the Independent (the paper for which he's the regular editorial cartoonist) refused to publish it? (can't think why etc)

when I said they deserved to be messed up, badly, I didn't mean a badly executed cartoon, innit?

that is so crap

this isn't about UK politics, but it's by a UK cartoonist if you couldn't tell

Depiction of Momentum as a rabid dog particularly hilarious if you happen to have met any actual Momentum members.

Is that supposed to be Hodge next to Chuka? Wondering who's cowering behind them. Anyway, I'm on the rabid dog's side.

if it's anyone i imagine it's joan ryan mp -- who happens to fit the usual generic "blonde white lady in peril" theme that is often favoured in such cartoons sadly

waht

By his low (yet high priced) standards that’s actually edging close to funny

Nailed it again

Looks pretty clean for the amount of shit that’s supposedly hit it

where's martin rowson when you need him eh

hint: you never ever need him

wat if i need a bad cartoon

matt's cartoon a couple of days ago was quite good i thought (the brexit deal one)

that thing they teach first year ordinary national diploma design students: avoid anything that accidentally looks phallic or like a nazi swastika. Matt obv didn't go through that route of education.
