Art and life: Harry Burton's year in cartoons
16 Harry Cartoon March Burton
After almost seven years of drawing Leo, I finally felt I cracked his likeness! He resigned three days later…
A year of elections in 2024. Here, I drew the winners. And the losers.
I like to see England do well in tournaments as my da is English and I was born there (while my folks were on holidays). This idea was a little tribute to ‘the Shining’ star Shelley Duvall who passed away that week. I felt England’s Euros victory was becoming more and more terrifyingly likely.
Viewed millions of times, this cartoon went the most viral of any cartoon of mine. The irony of those trying to help humanity being punished while those destroying it continue to get off scot free.
Out of all my cartoons this year, this is my favourite. The outfit. The slapstick. A really silly one.
Regarding the mismanagement of funds, the bike shed is very fitting as the taxpayer, yet again, is taken for a ride. Zing!
Something you don’t see everyday and something far too many see everyday.
I thought phone pouches were a great idea! But just for me so I can stop mindlessly scrolling through football clips and apocalyptic prophecies.
A front page cartoon here. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil with the ‘giveaway’ budget. The ‘throwaway’ budget. The ‘throwcashatyourheadpleaselikeus’ budget.
An election day cartoon without politicians. Instead, I drew the people greatly affected by the ongoing housing disaster those in power can’t seem to solve. Or want to.
