I don't think he's targeting overseas cartoonists yet, although Hitler is known to have had at least one on a list, so you never know!

Old Private Eye cartoon about rebranding the Met Police that never goes out of date.

Woman says to police officers: "A quick win would be to rearrange the letters to better reflect the organisation." The words METROPOLITAN POLICE have been rearranged to say POTENTIAL CRIME POOL.

I'm sure you're right. It was just a joke though.

As Rupert Lowe MP is back in the news, having mistaken charity rowers for illegal migrants, here's an old cartoon about this lowest of the low politician.

Roystoncartoons @roystoncartoons.bsky.social · Mar 14

From the current issue of The Spectator.

Cartoon of man and woman. He holds newspaper that says "REFORM MP 'BULLIED WOMEN'". Woman says "They've reached a new Lowe."

The characters in my Broadstairs Folk Week cartoon in the current Broadstairs Beacon are loosely based on people I sketched at the festival's Hobby Horse kids' club back in 2009.

And for those asking, the cartoon was drawn before the recent youth antisocial behaviour in the town 😅

Kids in Viking Bay, Broadstairs, bury a reluctant Folk Week hobby horse in the sand. A passing folkie says: "It's good to see young people getting involved with Folk Week"

Four characters sketched live at Broadstairs Folk Week in 2009: The drummer, the squeeze box player, the caller and Clarence, the friendly dragon

A ringing endorsement for cartooning 😃

suzannekelly27.bsky.social @suzannekelly27.bsky.social · Aug 5

Definitely. This show is a firm fixture on my annual must-visit list; the artwork you all create helps me make sense of and laugh at a chaotic world and a zany society like no amount of books or articles ever could.

No worries. Thanks for supporting the festival again. See you next year 🙂

The annual Cartoon Festival is in full swing in Herne Bay; while you visit Beach Creative, make sure you also stop into The Pub to see more fabulous work for sale from Royston cartoons. And have a drink or two with Richard while you're there!
