...let us not knowingly overlook the 10th Anniversary of the Great Tory Riots of 2011. It's how you could tell the Tories had their feet well under the table: A Royal Wedding...
Always thought the #Olympics were an almighty bore, celebrating obsessive Nietzschean nutjobs, though actually I really enjoyed London 2012 (particularly after they opened it with a riff on herself's grandfather's book "Pandaemonium"). Drew this for @M_Star_Online anyway
...while 2nd place goes to the ever marvellous @nickymonkey for "The Plumb Pudding Asleep at The Wheel - or - Enlish & Scottish Nationlaists carve up the UK"
...the riff on Gillray's The Plumb Pudding In Danger - the type specimen of the political cartoon - most indistinguishable from the original in the judgement of the cyber judge is this lovely thing from @cartoonsidrew - Well done Andrew!
The winner, according to the humans, is... @Ybretsae!!!! - for outside Ginny Chins Bar...
And before we get to the winner as decided with this electronic bag of jiggery-pokery, the robotic wallah gives an honourable mention to... @Trump_ton - for "Plum Pudding in Gin Lane"...
Latest illo for @Kevin_Maguire's @DailyMirror column both here https://t.co/4lJ7Tp3H8S & here
...which leaves us with a shortlist of 5, at my count. There's these 2 exqusite pieces of profoundly offensive genius from the frankly brilliant @DavidWaywell
And here's yet another lovely drawing from @nickymonkey & another Clsoe Encounter, this time from @oysterslobsters and - AT LAST - an objet trouve oeuf from @AidanKe42592122
...while both @easycartoons & @roy_stonebridge both imagine a Cross Encounter of the Bezos Kind. Meanwhile, tormented genius & SquiggleKing @kevinwellsart produced this to stop himself watching Love Island - good move Squiggly!
...a sweet egg toon from @SteveWeatherill, Sci-Fi + another cock rocket from @cartoonsidrew & this very fine photomontage from @OllyPottsArts
...& from @ChicanePictures @RadarDraw, more phallicism from the commendably dirty minded @bainescartoons & some Classical Class from @MagwitchC
And here's a whole bunch of other Bezoses - from @StephenCliffe3 @StickyDrawer @SteveWeatherill & @Andrewm82239566
And here's TWO Zucks from the equally bloody formidable @joe_ackenbush, another little digital marvel from @Trump_ton & this extraordinary drawing from @JaseToons
Which leaves us with my shortlist. This, in imitation of Fougasse's famous WW2 poster, is both beautifully wrought & very very clever, as is this Scarfean pastiche from @BenChilton, who's a formidable bloody cartoonist as it happens...
There's more than a hint of Alfred E Neumann from Mad Magazine to the majestic @robdoylecouk's entry, and of something that's dropped out of a cat to @JeremyWDunn's. Also love @deuxbottles' objet trouve Nutjob Zuck, & here's a pensive Eloi Zuck from the great @nickymonkey
Meanwhile, @bainescartoons opted for full on filth - we applaud gratefully for that - and @DjbSackett's back to those weird weird eyes - and Zucky's absent soul. @Crap_Portraits's entry is strangely uncrap - DO try harder - but has the creepy eyes, as does @cartoonsidrew
I have to say that @oysterandlobsters' deceptively simple gag made me laugh out loud; @JamesDFMellor, likewise, goes for simplicity - simple like a stiletto, that is - while @dawnymock does the Obvious Joke as well, and very pleasingly too, like @MacLtoons' "F" Zuckerberg
