Maggie Thatcher's Starched Undies

SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT TODAY, readers.....

-----I am always happy to try out 'new directions' and this one here is a spontaneous quickie just knocked out as a 'oner' this very day.

MAGGIE THATCHERS' STARCHED UNDIES is my pet name for a pretty useless, insular and unhealthy 'specialist' cartoon forum run by  a handful of -----seemingly and apparantly, going by my own personal  experience of their  jaundiced,  sorry site------- CENSORED  who lorded it over this ultra-snobby concern* : a site  that  I used to be on, and an  institution  that is now reduced to the butt of some of my satirical ideas....at least, on this site, anyway. 


MAGGIE THATCHER, of course, was a strong Prime Minister of Britain from 1979-90, a controversial figure who was loved and despised by Millions in equal measure...I myself 'couldnae stand the bitch' [as if you ever doubted that, going by this less-than-flattering vision seen here.]



ABOUT THIS DRAWING:



I do not especially bother with Political Caricature, however I always reckoned that Mags had a great distinctive face for drawing. In this case, I never bothered looking at her photos on Google Images, and as a result what we see here is more of a 'Maggie Thatcher type' rather than an accurate depiction of the gal herself-----the same goes for the male character also depicted: this is supposed to be her husband Denis:  again, Denis had a great fizzog,  full of character, but again I never bothered looking him up on Google either, so really it's a Denis-a-like at best here...but as I say I am not especially interested in caricature or political cartooning [it's also yet another facet of British Cartooning that sadly seems to be diminishing slowly] so this one is fine for this specific 'throwaway' purpose. More of this sort of thing at some stage.
