@JimHigham @UniKentArchives @UKCLibraryIT Awesome, thank you Jim!

@UniKentArchives @UKCLibraryIT @BritishCartoonA The man in the middle is VC at the time, David Ingram.

The original of this cartoon is at @BritishCartoonA at #KentUniversity...here's @PrivateEyeNews editor #IanHislop talking about it in his @BBCDocumentary 'Stiff Upper Lip - An Emotional History of Britain'

@hillww1 @Ncknwmn @DelfTerry @PontWorld @PunchBooks @Cartoonmuseumuk We did a series of blogs to celebrate the Giles Family’s 75th last year - have you seen? blogs.kent.ac.uk/specialcollect…

@JSpencerTBH @Cartoonmuseumuk Sorry we’ve only just seen this! Will check our holdings on Monday to see if we have a similar version in our collections 📦

Can anyone tell me anything about this original #NicholasGarland cartoon found in my late father’s estate? Probably late 60s coincides with a period when he was radiologist in Manchester working on a project X raying mummies @Cartoonmuseumuk @BritishCartoonA

Passed some time revisiting the excellent @BritishCartoonA in order to post some depictions of @ChelseaFC through the decades, starting with this Giles classic from Nov 1945 (1/6)

@RickGlanvill Great thread! Thanks for sharing!

Of course, most cartoons were meant to make fun of clubs’ reputations, such as this one from 1976. (@BritishCartoonA) (3/6)

This also applies to us: 📮

@Tangent3 @alecemerges @JAHeale Whoops! Thanks for the heads up - we'll get that sorted and amended ASAP.

@alecemerges @JAHeale The @BritishCartoonA database, normally excellent, errs here, listing him as Henry Brooke.

@UoKSpecialColls @BritishCartoonA @UniKentArchives if I use the right account... let's just take the Willies advice and hide all evidence of a mistake...

On 28 August, cartoonists @mistressofline, @bobscartoons and @MartinRowson will discuss the political cartooning arena including the challenges of making it as a visual satirist and the (lack of) inclusivity in newspaper cartooning. Find out more: ow.ly/vyHP30l6LJf

A tribute to the wonderful cartoonist #JohnJensen here; procartoonists.org/john-jensen-19… … @procartoonists @BritishCartoonA @kaltoons @PunchBooks @Cartoonmuseumuk @CartoonistsGB #cartoonist #cartoons

Brilliant cartoon by the late John Jensen still as relevant and funny today as when he did it in 1970. Done in response to a cartoon by JAK which is in the museum's collection. This though part of the @BritishCartoonA 's collection. Rewards close reading
