itt: cartoons abt uk politics that are bad cartoons

I like If and Maggie's Farm

Steve Bell's debt to Robert Crumb + American underground comix seems more or less unique for a UK editorial cartoonist?

terrible + disablist cartoon in Osborne's Evening Standard shocker.

quite like adams' angular style, this isn't a bad cartoon in the sense the o/p is a bad cartoon

obviously his politics are as bad as his grasp of what's going on in venezuela or indeed the labour party

venezuela was clearly going to be something the press were going to beat corbyn with so I'm unsurprised but disappointed that his team hasn't thought up some sort of response to this.

of course it might end up not bothering the public, as the IRA stuff apparently was reasonably ineffective during the GE.

Corbyn's one mad staring eye seems to be thing with right wing cartoonists.

fuck me i wish they had disappeared Watson 12 months ago

i like that even though tom watson isn't the target of the cartoon they've still depicted his inflated gut

hey, always room for a bit of body-shaming, target or not

"CHAVEZ REMEMBERED"

sinister seamus requires no such nudge

Trash the economy & eradicate all opposition - same old hard left whether #Venezuela or #CorbynsLabour pic.twitter.com/RxiSCrHtbl

Soubry, of course, repeatedly painted as the moderate Tory it's OK to like.

attempting to eradicate all opposition by holding a snap election is a-ok of course

It's worth watching Andrew Mitchell defending Paul Kagame on last night's Newsnight for an insight into Tories selectiveness when it comes to defending democracy.

It's not like Soubry hasn't recent experience of been frozen out by a small party clique, who were running roughshod over any opposition, and not consulting cabinet members on major policies + an election manifesto.

arguably this cartoon is in fact GREAT

Oh my fucking god lol

it's certainly sexy

Looks like God is not so great.

Ben Garrison is neither racist nor anti-Semitic and has fought back against the online trolls by writing a book.

Bouncing back!

This one is bad not good sort of hilarious, with a truncated England representing Brexit and Brenda up in "The Big Club" with Kissinger!

The Daily Toon guy should sue The New European imo

xp the New European have changed the picture at that link so my post above no longer makes sense - for posterity, the cover I was referring to was the one on the right below:

do teenagers wear cameo trousers these days? my impression is that they do not, but I'm fairly out of touch

It would be difficult to rule it out.

What do we think of Ben Jennings in the Guardian? I thin he has lots of nice details, but his style is just so ugly. Maybe that works for depicting Trump, sort of.

more troubling is that he's bungled his attempt at mimicking trump's diction. sad!

i like the style

bad art, better future:

Gotta say, I'm a sucker for a medieval battle scene.

That's... not that bad.

For Hunt it feels like he's only been Health Sec for a few minutes. For the rest of us...eternity.

^^^this may actually be good, i can;t make head or tail of it

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
