Beautiful. The Stone Island jacket and 'fist' emoji in the Ed Miliband got me first, and then it was 'Magical Team Vouchers'. By the time Clegg appeared I was collapsing in laughter.

I decided not to become a Pulitzer-winning Guardian cartoonist/journalist/anything due to i) complete lack of talent, and ii) the world below the line. You need a thicker skin than mine.
Thanks for the kind comments, folks. I never read below the line though Tee Rex. My confidence is fragile enough as it is. I was bracing myself for some harsh words on the Chelsea cartoon. Over the last six months or so of doing them for the Guardian, it's mostly been Chelsea fans who have taken the most offence at me taking the piss. I can't complain though, I'm ridiculing something that some people don't have a sense of humour about, so I have to expect some flak.
If anything, the experience has taught me to avoid reading the comments on ANY article, so it's been a positive experience for that alone.
The comments are positive and negative in just the right proportion I'd say- enough negative to know you're drawing blood and annoying plenty of wankers, but a comfortable majority lapping it up.
It came out during the week that Sepp is going to great lengths to avoid the United States, because the FBI want to have a series of long chats with him in windowless rooms. For the last two years of his life, corrupt buffoon Chuck Blazer was wearing a wire to Fifa meetings.
