I don't like SS's image. It assumes that Oprah doesn't eat spoons.

Good satirical artists like Steve Bell don't need to write "THIS IS THE LABOUR PARTY LEADER" or "THIS IS AN ANALOGY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS" on everything they draw.

Be that as it may--no, I can not even begin to explain how many things are confusing with that picture. That does not make sense. A tossed cellphone mentioning the band U2, a demon in the right corner, a butler in front of police officers, one clearly masturbating, a very pale and withered Mugabe (?) dragging a mask by his feet, a man walking on his fists, the king sneaking by? What the fuck! What the fuck! What the fuck!

No! You are doing it wrong! This is not satire. This is Michaeluj with a paintbrush! Wrong thread!

It's actually "Thus us Gorrrdon Broon", imitating his accent. The whole picture is to do with Rupert Murdoch's visit and the News of the World phone hacking scandal.

Oh, then it's quite brilliant. The Brits can not be beaten! They are perhaps the best satirist on this planet. Long live the Queen!

I know it's the style, but my biggest problem with that artist is how damned ugly everything and everybody is. It's like everyone and everything is related to those Ren and Stimpy closeups.
