wouldn't it make more sense for a bolsonaro saw to have overheated or got stuck or something before it has severed the trunk of a brazil tree? still wouldn't be good but maybe a bit less nonsensical

has jennings ever done a good one?

some of the others try and fail for depth but his stuff seems so surface that it actually hurts the point he wants to make if you try to read it as satire or metaphor

That really really needed the Brazil flag there.

it's ironic, because Bolsonaro liked to cut down trees, you see

lol gonna go against the grain (ha!) here and say that one's ok

rip off of an episode of Hancock's Half Hour I just listened to

THE RMT DOES NOT REPRESENT TRAIN DRIVERS are you listening Peter Brookes

are Nicola Jennings and Ben Jennings related or is it just a coincidence that the Guardian employs two cartoonists with the surname Jennings who can't draw?

going by their ages they might be mother and son? if so, they're no Matt and Edith Pritchett

wait, there's another one https://www.theguardian.com/profile/seamus-jennings

(this guy's cartoons don't seem to be quite as bad tbf)

If Ben is Nicola's son then I'm kind of impressed by the audacity of this one

just such ugly drawings, painful to look at

could be a whole separate thread for cartoons about UK politics that are weirdly horny

I like it when they do these 'state of the nation' type ones

I'm a bit disappointed that so far I haven't seen any cartoons depicting the tories as dinosaurs gazing haplessly at an advancing meteor (labelled GENERAL ELECTION) but maybe there will be some before polling day

Interestingly, in that one dated 30/11/22, Blower seems to be predicting England's world cup exit at the hands of France, ten days before it happened

"smash the past"

That's right

There's a weird innocence to that second street scene cartoon. Though that partly might be because I misread it at first, thinking the people with the "OMG ITS THAT INFLUENCER" were referring to the vicar and/or Jesus and were running away

lol CENSUS is IN THE BIN

also what's going on here?

(studing this rich text to decode 2022 all over again)

society is in the gutter

HARD looking BLOKES with POOFY DOGS

XL bullies hadn't been invented yet

... EU colours too.

(xp)

I thought maybe the dog walker was a self-portrait of the artist, and he looks angry because he's appalled by all the tawdriness and vulgarity he sees around him, but I found a photo of Blower and he doesn't look like that
