Not just on here, maybe the planet.
I'm usually more of a fan, and I know he's principally baiting us here ( which is fine ) but this effort is overly contrived, and only raised a slight snigger when he mentioned the lubricated kitman and Grealish's Gucci satchel.
Good. I like not being part of the herd. But as my dad used to say, 'you'll always find a consensus and go against it.'
The Guardian sacked Steve Bell so I won't laugh at another of their of their cartoonists until he's reinstated.
It's OK mate, not everyone gets it.
Nowt wrong with that.
Comes from the Irish side I think. My granddad was the same.
His latest one is absolutely fecking awful, it's not even just that we are the butt of the joke here, but being vaguely dismissive and outraged about the possibiity of Manchester United being bought by Qatar all while he mocks us for being beaten by one that's been many years in the progress seems tone deaf to me.
The feeling I get is more that he is depicting the indifference towards City, rather than partaking in it. I get the impression he is as outraged as most on here, but shows it in a more subtle way.
I tried to find more of his stuff on Man City but can only find things like this https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...anchester-citys-premier-league-transformation legacy comic.
Oh I absolutely agree with this, and have said so several times in various threads, but I'm just not sure that Squires is the one that should be the one on whose shoulders this responsibility falls, he's not prominent enough a figure really (unless I miss other stuff he does). And I feel that he genuinely thinks what you're mentioning, just expressing it through satire and sarcasm (in line with the overall tone of his strips).
His last one was rubbish in fairness
I miss Steve Bell. I've been a Guardian reader since I was at school in the 1970s, and Bell was the best they ever had. Satire with a bit of malice mixed in.

Very funny as usual.
I think the point is that ourselves and Liverpool are the gold standard clubs in England, and while it's adorable that ickle widdle Man City think they matter, they really don't. It isn't an insult that he is more appalled at the idea that an iconic British working class institution like Man United could be used as a propaganda puff piece for human rights abusing dickheads than a non-entity like Man City.
It's very subtle *looks at blood and body parts under the carpet/pitch*
That's fair and his latest update is absolutely and utterly fantastic, the European Vauxhall Conference put a smile on my face at least. The elephant celebrating in the first panel cracked me up too.
Some of these are particularly inspired!Footy rests, but no rest for the Squires: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...david-squires-on-callum-wilson-art-collection
That Chelsea Panel
Not allowed to discuss that...
Yeah. Pretty powerful that.
Bloody hell, that's beautiful.
