I immediately have to eat my words -- the three weirdest looking politicians in the public eye drawn by a usually steady hand are looking not good. Good meaning bad.
They look wrong.

I think Chris Riddell's drawing style generally makes people look too sparkly-pretty or child-like/delicate, but Christ...BoJo looks like Ted Kennedy here.

IDS eyebrows on fleek, though.

Things to do while I should have been working #317: develop a caricature of Michael Gove.



Progression is left to right. Once it struck me to draw his cheeks as buttocks with his mouth as a distended greasy ringpiece, it came together quite quickly. The hardest part was that my laptop screen was filled with pictures of Michael Gove.

Riddell's style really is too nice for political caricaturing. There's no sense of malice or loathing behind them, just "Here's a sort-of recognisable cartoon of a real person next to a neatly-done object or animal with a big label on it." This kind of work needs a full-on hatred for the subjects to have any real effect.

Facebook's coming to terms with paying tax, scrapping a weird thing where they routed profits through Ireland to take advantage of their lower corporate tax. Of course this is a PR decision on their part, rather than any enforcement by HMRC, and (possibly) a dirt cheap one to boot, so it's a thin little bone tossed to the Chancellor like a dog.
