My #cartoon for the latest issue of Private Eye

A cartoon of a conspiracy meeting around a table with pawns and a marked map in the background. There are several figures in robes and masks and one alien. A person in a suit with a pyramid head is saying "...and lastly, let's add symbols, acronyms, and other clues, so that brilliant sleuths can connect the dots and expose us."

Amazing coincidence
#cartoon

A cartoon of a male podcaster holding a graph of a pyramid with his face at the top. The caption is "And in this natural hierarchy I came up with, people like me are, coincidentally, at the top."

Your country needs you (to wave a flag)
#comics #politics #patriotism

A comic of a dialogue between two people. The first wears a T-shirt and a hat with the word 'Flag' written on it, as well as holding two flags that also have the word 'Flag' on them. The second person next to him doesn't have any flags. The flag holder is shouting "I LOVE MY COUNTRY". The second person says "Great, me too. So let's feed its kids." Flag holder says "No". Second person: "Make sure everyone in it is healthy, safe and educated. Protect them from being exploited. Give them a fair chance." Flag holder: "Pass". Second person: "Protect its nature, its clean air, its rivers, create green jobs and communities, buy local, become energy independent with renewable resources." Flag holder: "Hippy shit." Second person: "Take back control of essential utilities from private monopolies and profiteers." Flag holder: "Nah." Second person: "Strengthen alliances, build bridges, exchange knowledge, help each other." Flag holder, eye rolling: "Yawn." Second person, increasingly exasperated: "Fund its iconic institutions, its culture, arts and letters, the best things it's known for, learn from its real history so we get better." Flag holder: "Woke." Second person: "Ok, what it is specifically that you love about this country? And what have you ever done for it?" They stare at each other. Flag holder, angry: "You HATE your country."

Election cycle #cartoon #ukpolitics

A cartoon of Keir Starmer begging a Reform voter. The voter says 'I would still never ever vote for you, not in a million years.' Keir says 'And if I move EVEN further to the right?' There are arrows creating a circle to show they keep repeating the same two lines

Alt text here:

A cartoon of four panels. In the first panel, a politician is standing in the middle of the parliament, surrounded by several representatives, shouting 'government should be smaller!'. In the second panel, he's in the same place but there are fewer representatives and he's still shouting 'smaller!'. In the third panel all parliament seats have been replaced by a small table where only 6 representatives remain, and the politician is still standing in the same place shouting 'smaller'. Finally, in the last panel, the same person is now sitting in a big throne with two guards holding guns and nobody else, and he says 'perfect'.

How did we get an entire corporate and political world full of scumbags and bastards, all we did was incentivize that behavior at every turn
