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.

here it is

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.

so jeremy cunt was slenderman all along, it all makes sense now

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

I think that belongs on the Lovecraft thread.

i've actually been thinking a lot abt lovecraft and current politics (unfortunately)

complete perspective fail with the tennis ball which looks bigger rather than closer, and it also looks more like May's head than her zombie one. or has she been beheaded?

Martin Rowson is generally pretty bonkers (and crap).

Is she playing tennis with a cricket bat and a cherry bomb? what is this? it belongs in a gallery somewhere. a gallery of horrible things

Her half tennis ball head is biting/eating his half tennis ball head

rowson doesn't really understand what just happened imo

what is that in the background? A narwhal with a limp horn?

This is another one where I like the art w/o caring much about its message - the gallery of tory grotesques is great, would buy a children's book about them.

In the background is a looming fur cup, a common motif in Martin Rowson cartoons.

I like rowson a lot he has been very much on form for the last couple of years.

He's so fucking abysmal and makes Bell look good, and he certainly isn't good. Terrible wooden + lifeless caricatures and always darker (as in drearily overworked and lacking in colour) than a 6th form goth's A level art project.

OTM and v well put, calzino. Rowson has been doing this shit for probably twenty years now, and his basic drawing skills haven't improved at all in that time - still the ugliest colour sense and ink line of any professionally published political cartoonist in the UK.

it's the clanger in the room obv

shudders

"Sorry Adams, but not enough people will recognise Arlene Foster. No, keep the idea, draw Theresa May there instead. Yes I know it makes it less funny and obscures the point"

Martin Rowson's book of short stories/ squibs/feuilletons 'Snatches' is pretty funny. He should probably have stuck with writing, as I don't rate his cartoons at all.

bad cartoon, but Arlene probably is making similar faces rn, and maybe is stood by magic money tree.

i... what?
