Subject: The Best of Sir David Low
Comments: 23 April 14 June 2008
Sir David Low (1891 1963) is considered the greatest political cartoonist of the Twentieth Century. This exhibition of his work includes over 60 original cartoons from before the First World War to the early 1960s. None of the cartoons on show have been exhibited before and include a number that were censored before and during the Second World War. Many of the originals on show include Lows most famous creations Colonel Blimp and the TUC Carthorse. The exhibition will also coincide with the launch of a book entitled Low and the Dictators which features the almost private war Low fought against Hitler and Mussolini from the 1920s until the end of the Second World War.
The Political Cartoon Gallery, 32 Store Street, London WC1E 7BS, is open Monday to Friday 9.30am 5.30pm and on Saturdays between 11.30am 5.30pm. Phone Dr Tim Benson on 020 7580 1114 for further details or images email him at info@politicalcartoon.co.uk

Comments: Gillrays Legacy: A Contemporary Perspective
16 January - 23 February 2008
In the late 18th and early 19th century the great Georgian caricaturist JAMES GILLRAY was the scourge of Napoleon, George III, Prime Minister William Pitt and the Prince Regent. This exhibition combines a selection of the best-known of Gillray's original masterworks side by side with reworkings of these "after Gillray" by the cream of modern political cartoonists, including Steve Bell, Peter Brookes, Martin Rowson, Vicky, Dave Brown, Nicholas Garland, as well as Gillray's biographer, the American cartoonist Draper Hill. These later cartoons offer both a contemporary twist and a full-blooded testimony to Gillray's achievements as "the father of the political cartoon", whilst also showing how his powerful images of our follies and misdemeanours have continued to influence subsequent generations of artists.
Steve Bell: "Only the work of James Gillray inspires awe. Gillray can be seen as the first truly political cartoonist in the world."
The Political Cartoon Gallery, 32 Store Street, London WC1E 7BS, is open Monday to Friday 9.30am 5.30pm and on Saturdays between 11.30am 5.30pm. Phone Dr Tim Benson on 020 7580 1114 for further details or images email him at info@politicalcartoon.co.uk

Subject: Introduction
Comments: Hey everyone.
Just found the site and thought I'd introduce myself. I've been doing some Sports Editorial cartoons for almost 8 months now and have been picked up and published in Vancouver, B.C., for two months. Just thought you'd like to check them out:

StraightJAB is my weekly published cartoon in the Georgia Straight and Offside Sports is my personal weekly / bi-weekly cartoon.
If anyone has any insight as to how I could hit a wider audience or potentially get my work syndicated I'd love to hear it. Any comments would be welcome as well.
Thanks!
Ken

Subject: The Cartoon Century Book/Exhibition
Comments: Cartoons have the astonishing power to encapsulate a historical moment or popular mood, and this magnificent new survey tells the story of modern Britain through hundreds of the finest examples. Year by year, from the death of Queen Victoria to the downfall of Saddam Hussein, it shows the views taken by the nation's leading cartoonists of the issues and personalities that dominated the news - some of worldwide significance (the outbreak of the Second World War, for example), some of major social and political importance (for instance, the rise of the Suffragettes), some reflecting more parochial obsessions (as, for example, the Edwardian cartoon bemoaning the presence of foreign players in English football teams). Some show a nation united (the outbreak of the First World War); more often they reveal where battlelines have been drawn, whether they're cartoons supporting or attacking appeasement, trade unions, the EU or contraception, or seeking to praise or bury Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair or the Archbishop of Canterbury. Many have achieved iconic status (David Low's savage attacks on Hitler; Steve Bell's portrayal of John Major with his pants over his trousers), but the majority of the cartoons shown here have not seen the light of day since they were first published, or were rejected or censored by contemporary newspapers. Together, they offer fascinating and revealing snapshot views of Britain over the course of a tumultuous century.

Subject: Cartooning Classifieds?
Comments: Are there some routes a cartoonist can take to find publications that are seeking freelance and/or staff cartoonists? Or is it just a matter of cold-calling publications until you find one?
