Can’t have wrongthink.
@Atkins dude thats fucked
Is twitter going to bann theheraldsun also ?
Good point. Let's make this clear. Twitter are banning artists.
Id ask tim to cover it but he might get banned also
Hang on. Has he been banned or did he delete his twitter?
He can talk about it but maybe without showing the picture.
It's pretty normal for political cartoonists to make ugly exaggerated caricatures of public figures. That's kind of the point.

@Poppy Rider good question
Dont know
I feel like twitter banned him
i'd show examples of his artwork exagerating facial features but most examples were on his twitter ....
Lots of them feature hooked noses, massive ears, poofy lips, bulging eyes. His depictions of Tony Abbott are particularly exaggerated.
I really think they're just taking parts of this guy's normal artistic style and taking them out of the context of his body of work. Example:

why is political cartoon, as a genre, so ugly
The point is to give the common man the ability to poke fun at the powerful. It's a place to safely mock public figures, or at least it was.
Banning this man is completely egregious and indefensible. Raw naked censorship and abuse of power. Absolutely no way to justify this under Terms of Service violations.
@Poppy Rider given that leftists are gloating, i can only assume he was mass flagged
I think he walked away.
@Timcast story idea ^
You think they harrassed him,?

He was being harassed.
Wow
Apparently they thought you were smarter than you are. An easy mistake given it's likely half the population is dumber than you think.
Check this fucker out.
Bad taste much.
