as the closest to a self-outed matt-stan on the boards, i am drawn to the concept of "sub-matt"
― mark s, Friday, 2 March 2018 12:12 (six years ago) link
Submatt is a Happy Hardcore DJ from Dewsbury iirc

Matt's cartooning style is a bit 'Sub-Wicked Willie', imho:

It's always a bad cartoon when it needs a written sign/poster to make any sense.

looking at that signature all i can think is 'asshoppers need not apply'

Brown seems to be saying on twitter that the Independent (the paper for which he's the regular editorial cartoonist) refused to publish it? (can't think why etc)

Depiction of Momentum as a rabid dog particularly hilarious if you happen to have met any actual Momentum members.

Is that supposed to be Hodge next to Chuka? Wondering who's cowering behind them. Anyway, I'm on the rabid dog's side.

if it's anyone i imagine it's joan ryan mp -- who happens to fit the usual generic "blonde white lady in peril" theme that is often favoured in such cartoons sadly

that thing they teach first year ordinary national diploma design students: avoid anything that accidentally looks phallic or like a nazi swastika. Matt obv didn't go through that route of education.
