itt: cartoons abt uk politics that are bad cartoons

Nailed it again

(I have no idea what this is about)

reminder: matt makes £650k a year doing this (whatever 'this' is), more than the editor of the torygraph

the system works!

the cartoon is abt the west over-interpreting the resignation from political salience under putin of top russian metalhead dmitry medvedev by positing its correct equivalent

(matt is still good)

a: rinsing the failing telegraph for cash when it badly needs what little it still has
b: cock and balls for faces

The fact that the font has considerably better resolution than the drawing makes me a little suspicious (but I may be underrating the UK's best paid cartoonist)

hes a memelord

Matt S and Matt both otm. The position of St Basil's Cathedral and the top corner of GUM means our protagonists can only be in the courtyard outside the sealed-off government-complex bits of the Kremlin, which is admirable commitment to geographical accuracy too.

Mark S, even.

I suspected the same, but 'tis legit:

Fountain with fantail pigeons thankfully spared from Matt’s interpretation.

it's legit - it's on the torygraph website - matt just chooses to provide his cartoons at 16dpi resolution

Obligatory:

memeking

is the deployment of the word 'cunning' some kind of near-subliminal lesbian joke from matt or am i losing my mind (both may be true, i concede)

I think both are true, yeah.

something for me to reflect on this weekend xp

How tf has that remainiacs thing not been posted itt

It’s really powerful stuff. I could feel the shit for brains positively radiating from my phone screen when I saw it. Kinda love that an ex ilxor is involved too, must be like seeing someone you went to school with in the paper for fucking a dog or something

xp it and the associated fools were discussed in the main thread

(I'm aware this isn't the one, I suspect they have a lot in the tank)

well thanks, I've just had a horrible 10 minutes scrolling through these, every single one of them belongs here and then some.

jesus keep that garbage off my lovely thread of extremely bad UK political cartoons

(more evidence that matt is in fact good btw = look at the alternatives)

That’s a bit “this is the war room” if I may say so

ha, the link in their twitter profile just goes to some rando, the incompetence of these people who present themselves as the only grownups in the country never fails to delight.

you may indeed say so if you enjoy stepping on my joeks

I did indeed see that, was just surprised that this thread was revived and nobody mentioned it

xp turns out I do sometimes

Posting this here not because Matt is bad, because maybe he is good, not going to have any opinion on this, but because it may be of tangential interest to posters itt

Today I am launching a competition: every month I'll give one of my cartoons to the person who can write the funniest caption for an uncaptioned cartoon – you can see this month's one below.

Let's see if you can make me laugh 😜

more good cartoons in the bad cartoon thread with an all-purpose message that side-eyes literally everyone this morning

Think the Spectator made the right call in swapping the gag.

Any ⁦@spectator⁩ readers out there ... the wrong image has been put with the wrong caption , or vice versa. I wasn’t deliberately trying to be nonsensical! pic.twitter.com/pyqkYzUNO2

as that’s surely funnier than the actual caption his tweet should read “i wasn’t deliberately trying to be funny”

he's no matt thats for sure

i wasn't deliberately trying to nail it again!

it's pancake day! Now what shall I draw?

It has all the superfluous captions and lame visual gags of a Ben Garrison cartoon, but without any of his artistic talent. All four caricatures are bad but by far the worst is Corbyn, how long has he had to practice drawing him now?

I was hoping for this one. Unironically love Corbs

Has he ever seen a picture of Lisa Nandy?

Keir Starmer as an icy Terminator is p cool

still hasn't downloaded humour module from meltnet!

Lentils! Quinoa! er... Wooden spoons! I bet they're all wearing sandals, right guys?

xp

All right, listen. The Starmer’s an infiltration unit: part man, part machine. Underneath, it's a hyperrightwing ex-DPP, Labour First-controlled. Fully legitimate; very tough. But outside, it's leftish views and issues: unions, gays, tax - grown for the soft left.

Quinoa-munching pancake-flipping

Couldn't even get the distinctive shape of RLB's head right, useless.

the state of this fucking mess! Give Matt a pay rise.
