Caricatures Ireland

(My take on the Jyllands-Posten controversy, from back in the days when I used excessive labelling in my cartoons).

Gardaí have arrested five people in Waterford and two others in Cork in connection with an investigation into a conspiracy to murder a Swedish cartoonist.

The cartoonist, Lars Vilks, has been threatened over his drawing depicting the Prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog.

The cartoonist is Swedish man Lars Vilks.

Lovely take on disgraced former Minister for Defence Willie O’Dea in today’s Sunday Times by Gerald Scarfe.

Well done Willie, Scarfe’s drawn some of the biggest pricks of the 20th Century. You’re in good company.

George Lee has resigned from Fine Gael and has resigned his seat in the Dáil for the most petulant, self-indulgent reasons. Quitting the party is one thing, but to resign the seat after 9 months spits in the eye of the Dublin South electorate. I’d be surprised if there’s more than a 40% turn out in the inevitable by-election to come.
Quitting a Dáil seat in frustration at not being able to change things in 9 months is a complete contradiction in terms and a copout that Sarah Palin would be proud of.
