Musings on Britain’s Greatest Cartoon



Nicholas Garland focuses some commentary on an effort to name the greatest political cartoon of all time, and makes a lot of even-handed and worth-reading points. I'm linking to it becase that way I get to run a piece of World War II-era art from David Low, whose work of that period I really like looking at. The above is "Angels of Peace." I can't find the contest Garland is discussing, but I have to believe the group in question holding the contest is The Political Cartoon Society. They have a nice web site well worth a long visit. It's interesting to note that Great Britain may have three times the working number of political cartoonists that the US has, although I'm not sure how they're counted so can't say for sure.
