your favourite cartoonists

[dellzeqq]

it's Friday, which is, like every other day in Cafe, Unchallenging Thread Day.

All you have to do is to post a pic of your favourite cartoonist's work. Since I started it I get to post five.....

James Gillray. Two hundred years on you don't even have to know who the characters are to get the point

and now for something much more recent, but in the same vein...

John Glashan

and now for something a little more lighthearted - Robert Crumb - a cartoon that puts me in mind of Marshal Berman's 'All That's Solid Melts in to Air'

next, the arch-apostle of quiet despair... Glen Baxter

and finally, something for the boys.....Tom of Finland (and don't you dare google this on the work computer....)

take it away............

most of those were right click on the picture, choose copy, then paste in the thread. I've no idea how it works, mind....

Probably best not to put Guido Crepax down is it?

Don't google from work unless your company is extremely broad-minded.

The deranged Mr Baxendale:

The underknown (and unlike any other) Kliban:

...and the very zenith of intelligent cartooning, the one & only Trudeau:

Is there a smug smiley on the new forum?

I really like Nathan Bulmer's "Eat More Bikes", Anthony Clarke's "Nedroid Picture Diary", Kate Beaton's "Hark! A Vagrant!", and Kevin Cornell ("Birthday Street", "The Superest", "Bearskinrug"). Scott C's "Great Showdowns" is a simple idea executed really nicely.

I think EmmyC is doing some interesting things that use the potential of the web as a medium to good effect, e.g. "Margot's Room".

Not sure that it counts, but Claude Lumiere & Rupert Bottenberg's "Lost Myths" can be really, really good ("What to Do with the Dead", for example).
