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)

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

I think his depiction of Trump's head as a toilet is one of the most effective cartoon renderings of Trump, something about toilets as a liminal space between what is ok to acknowledge and what everyone is aware of but has to deny because it's foul and taboo etc works as a representation of Trump's position as a conduit between the world of mainstream respectable politics and this netherworld of racism and misogyny etc thatcan't be mentioned - Trump retweeting far-right memes as a backflowing toilet

if you look at the pic it is appropriated from the goon behind him looks nothing like Nixon, but the fat-necked cop with the self satisfied grimace in the bottom left corner has a similar self satisfied grimacing countenance to the Trump toilet head!

― chap, Friday, 12 April 2019 08:38 (five years ago) link
i will defend bell: he has a highly original symbolist imagination, which i think is a hard thing to retain after decades of turning out cartoons to order several times a week(if he has flaws they are rarely the flaws of reach-down banality: i wd honestly rather an artist is drifting the outer reaches of his/her unconscious for insight and intuitive connection than hunkering down in the ante-room of cliche) (true he's sometimes very bad on the power dynamics of sex stuff: there be dragons in the outer reaches of yr unconscious)― mark s, Friday, July 7, 2017 10:24 AM (one year ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

^^^^
i still basically like bell's dogged willingness to develop a transformative dream-figure for ppl he has to draw several times a week and then work with it and stick with it: no one else that i can quickly think of does anything like this (except for NAILED IT MATT drawing willies on literally everyone's face, but then i like that also tbh)
not all these figures work! at all! bush-as-chimp was poor! and bell definitely also routinely tumbles off into ugly lazy slur territory with some of his targets, which is bad not good -- but i will stan for toilet-head trump and for condomhead cameron and for pierrot theresa comments are closed
his strips were generally a lot better than his big paintings tho
i mean gilray mostly belongs on this thread and low sometimes does also (i like low's line tho, i don't like gilray's)

that Netanyahu one he did a few years back was dodgy as fuck (ithink it was linked on ILX SB thread). It was obv more ill-judged + stooopid rather than intentional anti-Semitic slur, but ironic appropriation of ZOG imagery isn't ever a good idea.

I appreciate that the pressure to have to deliver every day is slightly more than if you were baking doughnuts or something. But lots of his work is dreadful imo. Sorry comments closed i know!

baking doughnuts is man's highest endeavour and i am offended that you would compare it to the frippery of cartooning for a daily newspaper
