Image searches... they still don't work very well.

I've recently had two cartoons described to me. I think they're both brilliant and would love to know where to get hold of copies of them. They work quite well spoken out loud, but I'd like to see them.

I suppose I could re-draw them myself but (a) that seems like cheating on several levels and (b) I can't actually draw.

Cartoon one: a single panel. In it, a bloke wearing an FCUK t-shirt stares aghast at a statue of Cnut.

Cartoon two: a single panel. A medieval-period serf is carrying a salver, on which is a pig with an apple in its mouth. The pig has also been mounted from behind by another pig. The caption reads: But Maſter, it diſtinctly said "ſucking pig"!

Cartoon one was in Private Eye, I guess about a year or two ago. I've seen #2, but can't remember where.

No, but they're both brilliant.

[livejournal.com profile] childeric always said he wantd to do a lecture entitled 'Cnut: King or Typo?'

Google suggests that it was http://www.edmclachlan.co.uk/ responsible

Reminds me of a good quote from Hooke's Micrographia:
"Of a Louſe
...
I found, upon letting one creep on my hand, that it immediately fell to ſucking. ...
I viewed it a god while as it was ſucking"

Cartoon two I've only seen on a greetings card; if it isn't Bestie then it's someone of his/her/its ilk.

You've seen it because I have it on a postcard at home. :-) Remind me to scan it tonight for [livejournal.com profile] venta's delectation and delight.

Picture this, a sky full of thunder ...
