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?

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.
― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 4 December 2017 22:22 (six years ago) link
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.
― calzino, Monday, 4 December 2017 22:26 (six years ago) link
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.

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.

LIBERTY, MARK, LIBERTY, NOT THAT YOU'D KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
sadly my research concludes that it is somewhat altered from the original, which featured al gore in the driver's seat and a uh non-bukkake earth in the sky (?)

i believe tracer is arguing that the top-hatted pink head has been photoshopped onto the pale green body of liberty in an outrageous and subversive act of détournement
my preferred story is that some irony-poisoned very online leftie hired garrison to produce this (with detailed elements requested, as is i believe the garrison technique) (like jim'll paint it but TRENCHANT) and the wily and entrepreneurial BG* simply repurposed an old global warming cartoon to save time, with a quick corbs-head added here and a BOURG TEARS there
*BG? wait my mind is racing here
