It's a still a sprightly young whippersnapper by the PE standards.

i'd question the validity of the straw-skins that allegedly beat Husband up in the 70's, if true they might have gifted him some perception. His cartoon is so doggedly one dimensional which is death for satire. I hated his ugly ass Oink! vehicle when I was a kid, an insipid kiddy-Viz with shitty 2000ad leftovers.

Would happily subscribe to a Private Eye that was basically the front seven or eight pages without the cover.

there are lots of Heath cartoons on this excellent blog about representations of homosexuality in cartoons since the 1960s, mainly from his defunct eye strip 'The Gays' (which I wouldn't defend, exactly, but is usually not hateful in the same way his cartoons about the great unwashed are)

Did Goaste.cx do any Private Eye parodies?
― imago, Saturday, 13 December 2014 14:20 (nine years ago) link
not sure they'd work as well. George & Lynne are ripe for their parodies because they're absurd rather than just one-dimensional like the various PE stereotypes

Grim Up North London is too true to life to be a worthy winner. Premiershits or Yobs must win this. I mean...http://www.private-eye.co.uk/pictures/strips/premiershits/1255.jpghttp://www.private-eye.co.uk/pictures/strips/yobs/1351.gif

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Sacred anonymity of the poll and all, but really wouldn't mind hearing why someone would pick Scene & Heard as the worst of the lot.

RIP The Adventures of Mr Millibean
feel like an SNP themed strip would have the potential to oust Yobs as the worst

they should really bring back Upfronters though, that was the best thing in the magazine by far
