After feedback, I have been persuaded to re-open this thread for submissions.
Please make sure that you read the forum rules before posting.
Be aware that you are responsible for whatever you post.
Whilst the nature of political cartoons means that some people may be miffed or annoyed, there is no place for deliberately offensive material. If in doubt, don't post (or seek advice from a moderator via PM).
Please ensure that you host pictures yourself. Any hotlinked cartoons will be deleted. Because of this, it would also be a good idea to provide credit to the artist/publication.
Enjoy.
:bow:
Oh, go on then, seeing as BG has been so gracious as to reopen the thread :bow:
Here's one of my favourites, on a similar theme:

The K-Chronicles can be found at The Salon (www.salon.com), and I owe my thanks to Zaknafien for reminding me it was there, I'd not visited for a couple of years... yeah yeah I know it's a wishy-washy crypto-pinko liberal propaganda machine (but that's what I like about it ~D)
Here's a funny one!

Not sure if this qualifies as a political cartoon, but its a parody of the Bush admin. and Star Wars. I'm sorry George Lucas; I couldn't resist.
Found this about a year ago so I don't know who did this but its funny.

Apologise all and sundry.
This one is of course from the last bit of the seizing of that RN boat.

This one is from a few years ago and was made in reference to the Israeli/Palestinian fighting but I feel it still very relevant today and of course for more than that conflict.

This one is of course when the Bush adminstration finally decided to change a bit of what they were doing. I think this is from early '06, not sure though.

And then these two aren't cartoons but I post them anyhow because I think they make a point in the same manner political cartoons do. It's just pointing out the different covers of Newsweek and Time magazine when marketing within the US or abroad.

that one that says
"we are no longer the knights who stay the course"
those knights in the back looks like teutons from the prussian crusade.
It's a spoof on the Knights Who Say Ni (nee? Nie?) from Monty Python's Holy Grail, and the knights in the background look almost exactly like those Knights Who Say Ni.Quote:

Damn you lemur, for a second there you fooled me into thinking "Wow, the Knights of Ni were made from historical figures?!"...
spmetla, those last two are not so much funny as profoundly worrying... ~:(
We're losing Afghanistan to the Taliban even after our occupation???
You would think Newsweek would capitalize on that topic since they're mainly pro-Democrat.
I can understand that Time would change it b/c they're pro-Republican but why did Newsweek change their covers?
Here's a spoof on the movie Superbad and Bush/Cheney

:bump: If y'all don't mind; I'll just post a picture everyday.:bump:

that´s going a little too far....
I feel like saying stuff about Dubya that would make the mods here explode...but comparing him to Hitler is a bit much don´t you think?
That graphic definitely violates Godwin's Law. Shame, shame I say! This graphic, on the other hand, is far scarier:
I have just one question...Quote:

Don't be silly - can't you see they're just holding him down whilst Jefferson takes a good long run up from behind? :laugh4:Quote:

Oh, I thought that was FDR doing a wheel kick at Boy George!:laugh4:Quote:

I googled around a bit, here are some cartoons I found amusing:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Whores whores whores.Quote:

Louis, can you translate following? My French doesn't include slang sadly.
Roux
On s'en fout
PD
Great cartoons btw
edit:
Justiciar, I think it means "stupid"
Ah. Danke.
Roux means redheads.
I already regret posting it. Somewhat. Few of the qualifications are fit for print, even by Backroom standards, but I can not post it and then withold you a translation, so here goes, reluctantly:
(I should've known this would happen) ~:mecry:
Bonasses - suckers, as in a good natured fool
Roux - reds, redheads
On s'en fout - we don't care, or better, since it's not very polite: we don't give a damn
Putes - whores
Mafia - mafia
Vodka - vodka
Alcoolos - binge drinkers. Boozers I think is the English term
Faineants - sluggard, or rather: lazy ****s
Poilues - shaggy, as in rough-haired persons
Teubé - (verlan, reversed 'bête', for all you confused French speakers) nuts
Toxicos - derogatory term for people under the influence of drugs
Fachos - fascists, but it's ruder than proper 'fascist'
Lents - sluggards?, but more in the sense of slow of understanding than lazy
Voleurs - thieves
PD - 'pédérastes', gays
Accordeonistes - accordeonists
Maison - home
It, er...naturally the object of the cartoon is ridiculisation of the narrow-mindedness of the French, and not any perceived character traits of foreigners. :yes: :sweatdrop:
