I like the concept of the cartoon, and the message, but it lacks something - humor, a surprise, something unexpected? It seems kind of bland. I wonder if it was rejected because it was just not interesting enough.
- davidw 2y agoIt's not a 10/10; I've seen better. But if the person in question quit over it, I suspect it wasn't just because they were asked to rework it, something they've probably been asked to do in the past because something wasn't clear or funny or something.
- probably_wrong 2y agoIf newspapers started rejecting political cartoons for not being funny then barely any would be left standing. I imagine that coming up with a good topical joke every day that can be told in exactly one picture is not easy, so I can believe that it's more about a good average. At least this one respects the reader. Other artists would probably write "privacy" and "consumer rights" in the money bags.
