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 😜

Reply or RT with your caption and #CaptionMatt🕸 pic.twitter.com/sLrwADhT6b🕸

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

i wasn't deliberately trying to nail it again!

it's pancake day! Now what shall I draw?

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?

I was hoping for this one. Unironically love Corbs

Has he ever seen a picture of Lisa Nandy?

Keir Starmer as an icy Terminator is p cool

still hasn't downloaded humour module from meltnet!

Lentils! Quinoa! er... Wooden spoons! I bet they're all wearing sandals, right guys?

xp

All right, listen. The Starmer’s an infiltration unit: part man, part machine. Underneath, it's a hyperrightwing ex-DPP, Labour First-controlled. Fully legitimate; very tough. But outside, it's leftish views and issues: unions, gays, tax - grown for the soft left.

Quinoa-munching pancake-flipping

Couldn't even get the distinctive shape of RLB's head right, useless.

the state of this fucking mess! Give Matt a pay rise.

oops probably belongs on bad FT articles that are accompanied with bad illustrations that look a bit like political cartoons thread, but never mind.

What's Stonehenge got to do with anything?

Er, so, you know he's in, er, England? Fuck knows.

There'll be a new motorway tunnel worth £2bn near it.

from today's Irish Times, oh no the dreaded Boris Dancers.

theyre giant waves but also they''re giant killer fish its, a metaphor

there is probably the germ of a half decent idea for a cartoon there just completely bodged by a total hack!

What' going on underneath Parliament there? Motorway junction across ploughed fields? A ribbon tied around the little green lump that Parliament's on?

some of these lot do make Steve Bell look very good

Marin Rownson in the Guardian just gets worse

I demand an update where one of the waves is engulfing a slave trader’s statue

no no Ben is actually the name of the flag you see

but that is good!

Well I was going to ask, looking at the person speaking on the left there, if the artist had ever seen a human head in profile before, but it now occurs to me that he's a dead ringer for Michael Gove

top-tier acne-work

do any living, shitting polypeds on this rock actually lift their left leg when they fart? I think that is hilarious: "I'm going to jolly well fire a gaseous blast of wind out of my rectum straight into tour face you cad, haw haw!" *lifts leg*

another thing that is funny as fuck is that the portrait of the prince regent appears to be indignantly smelling the fart!

(l-r)

Harvey Keitel, DeNiro, Scorsese. First audition for Mean Streets!

not UK cartoon strictly but definitely a bad cartoon

wouldn't it make more sense for a bolsonaro saw to have overheated or got stuck or something before it has severed the trunk of a brazil tree? still wouldn't be good but maybe a bit less nonsensical

has jennings ever done a good one?

some of the others try and fail for depth but his stuff seems so surface that it actually hurts the point he wants to make if you try to read it as satire or metaphor

That really really needed the Brazil flag there.

it's ironic, because Bolsonaro liked to cut down trees, you see

lol gonna go against the grain (ha!) here and say that one's ok

rip off of an episode of Hancock's Half Hour I just listened to

THE RMT DOES NOT REPRESENT TRAIN DRIVERS are you listening Peter Brookes

are Nicola Jennings and Ben Jennings related or is it just a coincidence that the Guardian employs two cartoonists with the surname Jennings who can't draw?

going by their ages they might be mother and son? if so, they're no Matt and Edith Pritchett
