I must say that I really admire (and am very envious of) most of the cartoonists in the national press, but Dave Brown’s work in The Independent is consistently outstanding.
His latest in today’s paper is another prime example.
See it here - this is a link to The Indie’s latest cartoon.
When the link is out of date, page through his cartoons to find the canoe image dated 1st October and on the way take in his most recent work (and after, page through all his past work.)
You still have time to see Dave Brown’s cartoons at The Political Cartoon Gallery in London which are part of an exhibition entitled ‘An Independent Line’ which also features work by Peter Schrank and Tim Sanders.
The exhibition ends on the 18th October.
The Political Cartoon Gallery is open 9.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 11.30am to 5.30pm on Saturday.
Phone 0207 580 1114 for further details.

in London.
UPDATE

Cartooning is a way of taking back a little power from the bullies who run our lives. A cartoonist is a lone assassin who keeps on firing away at them and hopefully, if he manages to get enough direct hits, he might find a little weak spot and help to bring them down.

From the Procartoonists blog :

An Independent Line – an exhibition of cartoons from The Independent newspaper, by Dave Brown, Peter Schrank and Tim Sanders, is at the Political Cartoon Gallery in London from June 18 until October 18.

Plenty of time to see some of the best UK political cartoons from the last 12 years, some of which are for sale.

Definitely worth a trip to London.
The Political Cartoon Gallery is easy to get to in Central London, on Store Street which runs between Tottenham Court Road and Gower Street - see map here.
Full address - 32 Store Street, London WC1E 7BS. Open Monday to Friday 9.30am – 5.30pm and on Saturdays between 11.30am – 5.30pm. (As with every event that lasts so long, best to check opening times before you travel - Bank Holidays etc.)

Plenty of good bars and restaurants around (NB - No drinking on public transport and don’t leave confidential documents on the tube, bus or train.)
