Very sad. A brilliant cartoonist – funny, incisive, and fearless.

If you have to be told it is a waste of key strikes to even try to explain it to you! Your comment is very revealing and you would not want to know what is the “legacy” of that!

I’m looking for an example of a genuinely funny, incisive, and fearless cartoon from Bill. Can you point me towards one. I can see lots of witless political propaganda but nothing that passes for humour.
Thanks
