(For I know it's you!)
Medbh...
Some points about this cartoon.
Look at the way I've kept Prez Ahmed's face right in the centre.
Look at the way he seems motionless, yet falling, not just downwards, but outwards towards us, the viewers.
Look at the clever use of transparency so that you can see the leg that should be obscured by the bomb.
Look at the fine bow shape in the legs.
Look at the face. Even though it's a caricature you can tell I'm not sneering at him.
Look at the exultant use of the primativist style.
All in all Medbh I'd say my cartooning has improved...
At the very least I've progressed from abysmal to just plain awful!
