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.

Nailed it again

reminder: matt makes £650k a year doing this (whatever 'this' is), more than the editor of the torygraph

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

(matt is still good)

a: rinsing the failing telegraph for cash when it badly needs what little it still has
b: cock and balls for faces

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.

I suspected the same, but 'tis legit:

Fountain with fantail pigeons thankfully spared from Matt’s interpretation.

steer karma (gyac), Friday, 17 January 2020 12:28 (four years ago) link

it's legit - it's on the torygraph website - matt just chooses to provide his cartoons at 16dpi resolution

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)

I think both are true, yeah.

How tf has that remainiacs thing not been posted itt

Baby yoda laid an egg (wins), Friday, 17 January 2020 16:15 (four years ago) link

It’s really powerful stuff. I could feel the shit for brains positively radiating from my phone screen when I saw it. Kinda love that an ex ilxor is involved too, must be like seeing someone you went to school with in the paper for fucking a dog or something

Baby yoda laid an egg (wins), Friday, 17 January 2020 16:20 (four years ago) link

xp it and the associated fools were discussed in the main thread

well thanks, I've just had a horrible 10 minutes scrolling through these, every single one of them belongs here and then some.

jesus keep that garbage off my lovely thread of extremely bad UK political cartoons

(more evidence that matt is in fact good btw = look at the alternatives)

mark s, Friday, 17 January 2020 16:43 (four years ago) link

That’s a bit “this is the war room” if I may say so

Baby yoda laid an egg (wins), Friday, 17 January 2020 16:44 (four years ago) link

ha, the link in their twitter profile just goes to some rando, the incompetence of these people who present themselves as the only grownups in the country never fails to delight.

I did indeed see that, was just surprised that this thread was revived and nobody mentioned it

xp turns out I do sometimes

Posting this here not because Matt is bad, because maybe he is good, not going to have any opinion on this, but because it may be of tangential interest to posters itt

Today I am launching a competition: every month I'll give one of my cartoons to the person who can write the funniest caption for an uncaptioned cartoon – you can see this month's one below.

Let's see if you can make me laugh 😜

every one should just be one person to the other saying “Matt nails it again”.

three weeks pass...

Think the Spectator made the right call in swapping the gag.

Any ⁦@spectator⁩ readers out there ... the wrong image has been put with the wrong caption , or vice versa. I wasn’t deliberately trying to be nonsensical! pic.twitter.com/pyqkYzUNO2

as that’s surely funnier than the actual caption his tweet should read “i wasn’t deliberately trying to be funny”

he's no matt thats for sure

It has all the superfluous captions and lame visual gags of a Ben Garrison cartoon, but without any of his artistic talent. All four caricatures are bad but by far the worst is Corbyn, how long has he had to practice drawing him now?
