News today that Ecuador has granted political asylum to Julian Assange because they believe that if extradited to Sweden he could face “cruel treatment” in a “third country” ( i.e. the USA). Cue all kinds of alarming huffing and puffing from the UK government.

I love political cartoons. They’re funny, sly and subversive. They question authority, draw attention to corruption and highlight social ills. A good cartoon cuts through all of the bullshit straight to the heart of an issue. The right image can be be more effective than the longest, wordiest rant. Its therefore a form that's ideally suited to our attention deficit age. They're irreverent and poke fun at our rulers, of course, but our political system is pretty much surreal comedy anyway. I don't own these images but I enjoy them. I hope you do too.

My other Tumblr blog is Elle Dark. Wordiness, political mutterings, bad 'pomes' and other bits of flotsam from the wrong side of midnight.
