Political cartoons to the rescue
Posted by: Haim Ronen on 21 September 2014
It is always a political cartoon that succeeds in pulling us away from the depression of our current events, leaving us with a fresh perspective, not necessarily ours, and a smile on our face.
If you come across a delicious cartoon, please be kind enough to share it with us.
Old I know but for me absolutely perfect. Sums up much of what I detested about the hypocrite, and still do.
Whatever happened to the Iraq enquiry? Forever sidelined?

Another Steve Bell. Sums Blair up perfectly:
And a topical Peter Brookes:
Scotland Stays
The four US cartoonists whom I keep following daily are Glenn McCoy (NY Times) and Michael Ramirez (Investor's Business Daily) from the right and Mike Lukovich (The Atlanta Journal) and Tom Toles (NY Times) from the left. Despite their varying philosophies and styles, they all share a keen eye and a healthy dosage of humor. Lukovich and Ramirz are Pulitzer Prize winners.
I know this isn't current but I love the old political cartoons from the past.
I dunno, the old ones are great but modern ones take some beating

Very nice, Kuma. Must be at least a hundred years old? I didn't know that they were eating pizzas then..
Even as women were accepted in certain industries, their attempts to organize for legal rights were consistently mocked in political cartoons, like this anti-suffrage postcard from 1907.
NOT a cartoon,but take pitty on the poor sod sitting next to Cyril.

That would be Jeremy Thorpe the then leader of the Liberal party and a well known sod in the sodomite sense.
