Cartoonists My History GCSE was dominated by sitting around trying to decipher 'Punch' cartoons from the First World War. OK -- so you've got a giant bear that's being attacked by a bulldog and there seems to be an emu involved somewhere. Huh? Thankfully, newspaper columns are a bit more straightforward, a subverted image of Dubya or Tony looking a bit strange. Steve Bell and Martin Rowson (who both draw for 'The Guardian') expound upon their craft in 3am Magazine: "Not really. Its not an exalted art form. It’s lonely, low, scurrilous and rude. Its supposed to be. But I think you can be serious at the same time as the piss taking. There is a serious point buried in there, somewhere. But the point is also to make people laugh and the best ones are when you do both , when you hit the spot and make people laugh."
