Go, Look: Martin Rowson On The UK Riots



I'm not familiar in any meaningful way with the deep roster of UK editorial cartoonists, but there are a few that spring to mind when a story hits like that of the recent UK riots. Steve Bell seems to be on vacation, but Martin Rowson has provided a series of handsome-looking cartoons here: 1, 2, 3, 4.

What's fascinating to me is that unlike U.S. cartoonists Rowson is not immediately penalized or dismissed for failing to strictly cling to some bizarre notion of this-side/that-side balance, and that the imagery itself can be somewhat obtuse and his readers are still able to pick up on what he's saying.
