My cartoon in the current edition of The Critic Magazine.
Quite possibly the bleakest thing I've had in print. Still, today suggests common sense might prevail.

Many thanks for all your updates.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Not surprising that these people issue these orders. Very troubling that the military go along with it, though.

All is well.

I suppose these sorts of things are likely to happen if you stubbornly refuse to stand by a window or touch your tea.

Well, if you can't trust 'the Prince of Darkness', who can you trust?

I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face But I've come through (We're gonna go on and on and on and on) We are the champions, my friend And we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers Cause we are the champions Of the world I've taken my bows And my curtain calls You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it I thank you all But it's been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise I consider it a challenge before the whole human race And I ain't gonna lose (We're gonna go on and on and on and on) We are the champions, my friends And we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers Cause we are the champions of the world We are the champions, my friends And we'll keep on fighting till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers Cause we are the champions Of the world

Many thanks to everyone who voted - a rejected cartoon vindicated at the UK @procartoonists.bsky.social "Splats" awards last night!

You know how you have a cartoon idea late at night and quickly scribble it down so as not to forget it, yet when the morning comes around you have absolutely no idea what you were thinking of or what the joke was? Yeah, that.

Pleased to have a couple of cartoons in the latest Private Eye Magazine. Here's one of mine from the previous edition.

Confusing footage. The giant bottle of milk and the Jeremy Beadle hand make me think it's AI, but the lying gives it an air of authenticity.

Great work.
And an excuse to rummage through last year's Christmas rejection bin.

« Charlie Hebdo » caricature les mollahs, huit ans après les attentats L’hebdomadaire satirique publie, mercredi, un numéro spécial moquant le Guide suprême Ali Khamenei, soutenant les Iraniennes et les Iraniens et promettant une « raclée aux mollahs ».

Made my cartooning debut in France 3 years ago today, to, er, "mixed" reviews.
The cartoon's relevant all over again, though.
