Just went back through a year of his stuff (in thumbnails...) the earliest reference to a fur cup I could find is this one, and it's got a Starbucks logo on it, and is due to their exceptional tax "avoidance". Sods me why it's furry, or if that's the original context. The fact it's there and innocently whistling with faux nonchalance is a lovely touch, particularly with the apocalypse going on around. Nothing to do with me...



The triple A thing is obvious. Not sure who's been left for dead/killed, or if that's Clegg cowering behind Cameron. Sods me why Osborne's tying the bills shoes together given it's his nasty brute of a behemoth in the first place. He should've been handing it AK47's and lists of children to shoot.

Dunno if this one's been posted before, but it's a thing of beauty... Murdoch's immediately recognisable in all his evilness, and Cameron really is his bird-brained little pet. The lining of the tray he's putting in is the Levenson report into phone hacking, News Ltd, plurality, the press overstepping their bounds, the abuse of the 4th Estate privilege, etc. And yes, he wants his little budgie to shit all over it...

Get it?

It is funny because women serving in the US. military suffer often from sexual harassment and are more likely to be raped by their comrades than get injured in combat.

Now I made myself sad.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Just by looking at it, I'm pretty sure one leg is stretched backwards, and the other one has a bent knee.

Actually, given that there is no muscular tension around the thighs and knee, she must be a double amputee, especially that right leg of hers. If her legs were behind her being hidden, you would be able to see the way they distort the mussels of the upper thigh.

Short version, the artist is being obviously lazy. You can see where he wanted to draw the lower legs, but he decided not to.
