Jennings drew this cartoon about the Extinction Rebellion protests a few weeks ago and I don't understand it

I know ER protesters were gluing themselves to structures, so the woman gluing her hand to the man's head is a metaphor for how they are making the public think about climate change, I guess? Is there any significance to the fact that the man looks like Pep Guardiola?

Yes... I don't... what is... I don't get what that is trying to say... does she fancy the guy and, er, that explains the lascivious grin... no, sorry, I give up.
― Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Sunday, 23 June 2019 22:41 (four years ago) link
Doesn't look like Pep to me but yeah, this is incomprehensible.
Is he trying to say he can only think about climate change now that a protester is glued to his head? idgi

Ben Jennings is the absolute worst.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 23 June 2019 22:58 (four years ago) link
The 496 (!) comments on that one aren't making it any clearer either.

he did that fucking awful Hockney swimming pool pastiche with Gove with the knife. A combination of bad ideas allied to bad drawing talent is a recurring theme in all of his work, but sometimes the bad ideas get even worse.

If I'm being charitable I'd guess that he's implying people are being indoctrinated by climate change rhetoric, but yes it's pretty lame.

I think it's just a silly joke rather than a statement? But a crap one.

What's the joke?
― Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Monday, 24 June 2019 11:03 (four years ago) link
you'd think a climate change protestor would know better than to glue themselves to the solar panel for a sex machine

its hard to know, rly, whether we are seeing the two fools and their impression of ireland and a miracle deal, or whether idk its just a lazy shit effort

i mean yes it's an "away with the fairies lol unicorns" message mocking both of them and arguing that their conception of ireland is fantastical at best
but it's also a v bad cartoon (bcz the leprechauns aren't doing riverdance)

more garbage from Rowson, same drawing talent deficiencies and horrible colour sense and now also he's using that same Corbyn in a Lenin hat the S*n uses.

the system works!

the cartoon is abt the west over-interpreting the resignation from political salience under putin of top russian metalhead dmitry medvedev by positing its correct equivalent

The fact that the font has considerably better resolution than the drawing makes me a little suspicious (but I may be underrating the UK's best paid cartoonist)

Matt S and Matt both otm. The position of St Basil's Cathedral and the top corner of GUM means our protagonists can only be in the courtyard outside the sealed-off government-complex bits of the Kremlin, which is admirable commitment to geographical accuracy too.

Mark S, even.
The fact that the font has considerably better resolution than the drawing makes me a little suspicious
I suspected the same, but 'tis legit:

is the deployment of the word 'cunning' some kind of near-subliminal lesbian joke from matt or am i losing my mind (both may be true, i concede)
