worst regular comic strip appearing in Private Eye as of december 2014

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)

just want to second soref's bigup of this blog, I found it while googling for something (poss that 'Gays' strip actually) and got lost in its rabbithole for hours

Did Goaste.cx do any Private Eye parodies?

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...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

holy crap those two are terrible, gyac

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.

Buzzfeed like it

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
