He has a great talent. I can admire art for art's sake. Unlike with many political cartoonists his work is of such a quality that the art jumps out quicker than the message.
a major difference between SINN FEIN and the nazis- the nazis were elected into power just the once, in 1933, they then made germany into a dictatorship started a war and lost,
SINN FEIN was elected during the war, and are still getting elected in the peace process, to proceed to where the IRISH want to be-
Obviously I do not know Big Bob - my information and opinions are media informed and by the barking of the proverbial dogs on the street. He has been credited with planning the Maze escape and the strategy behind the 'parades issue'. Is his intelligence really that questionable?
it is a wind up or a put down. I knew him quite well. Very intelligent. I think a better case can be made about and against the intelligence of those who know him and think he really is 'doh.' But most who say 'doh' know the score but like a bit of humour.
A great spin on the American influence(invasion) with Colonel Klink and Sergeant Schultz right down to the baseball caps and the wee “gangster’s” standing up to the “original gangsters” after all I think the wee lad was just telling the big lad “you can’t take the “our” out of Ardoyne.” The commandant losing control of the camp I think there is a so called “Reality TV Show” in the making there.
Brain I think Nietzsche quoted “he wanted to write in ten lines what others would write in a book.” If only he had your artistic skill he might have been able to do so.
Michael I am beginning to think you might be a follower of PSF… now if only the leader had the oratory skill of Mr. Adolf things might be slightly different today. Lighten up it is a cartoon of quality…political satire gives us all a laugh. Try and appreciate Brains artistic talent and his unique razor sharp mind.
Marty Remember the aul Paddy Irish, Scotch and Englishman jokes was there ever any Paddy Welshman jokes?
Robert A bit hasty in the declining of a good offer after all he makes a great case for remaining in the Union?
did i ever get the feeling that life aint worth living asks the bold robert, never- is their life before death, a mural artist once wrote on a belfast wall always, our rivers are free robert but it is not good enough the brits agreed to equality soon be time for the queen to bow and to get rid of the anti catholic laws, some idiots do not know what the war was about.
keep your money marty, the free transfer happened in 1998.
Just stunned at the Nazis were death SF is life bit. But Robert had me laughin with tears in my eyes with the, did ye ever think that life wasn't worth living. ENTERTAINMENT for sure. As for big Bobby. Encountered him several times in the Crum and the Blocks. Seemed always very precise in what he wanted to say. Never would have considered him uninteligent. Never gave any 'lesser' inmates anything but respect. The doh thing is just humour and his stature [ height ] and demeanor lends itself to that I think. Still enjoying Roberts response there, i was lost for words then burst out laughin when I saw it. Better leave the library shortly!!
Anthony are you angling for a free night in the Andytown social,as Bob doh Brains,s special friend,enough already!Mickey boy take your thumb outa yer bum and put your mind in neutral,btw the raf still have a base at Aldergrove
"..some idiots do not know what the war was about."
Anyone in particular in mind?
Perhaps that should read, "some idiots know only too well what the war was not about."
"..asks the bold robert,.."
What, in your eyes, makes me bold? Is it my audacity in expressing an opinion or is there something in that opinion that confounds you and those you support?
a big r.a.f base with no choppers marty, its like ordering a fish supper only to get no chips, whats wrong- do you not like the clear skys, SINN FEINs contribution to the environment, getting rid of those pollution making smelly choppers.
Talking of pollution who would you say has been the biggest environmentalist criminals who have destroyed and damaged large areas ot this country with illegal dumping operations of disel wash and rubbish tipping large scale, yes Mickeyboy none other than people the bearded one would call sound people ,key supporters of the peace process, usually found living around Concession rd South Armagh,as for helicopters Broy Harriers are cheaper to run.
"a big r.a.f base with no choppers marty, its like ordering a fish supper only to get no chips,"
I recall, from a past post, you having mentioned living near to some woods. Forgive me, but since that revelation your comments always conjure images in my minds eye from the film 'Deliverance'. I picture you as 'Lonnie' and the sound of 'Dueling Banjos' always forms a backdrop to your posts.
Nice one, Marty. I don't know if Michael Henry is for real or not - "Sinn Fein is life", "Our river run free", "The Brits agreed to equality" - he must be taking the piss. So the war was for equality, eh? And here was I, like so many other idiots, thinking that it was for a united Ireland.
robert- you write your way, i will write my way, did not see your audacity opinion, did not know that you had posted one, like a neuter'd tiger woods - it has yet to come,
marty- if GERRY says people are sound, then sound they are, those sound helped to clean the country of the armed brit army, waste not, want not.
broy harriers- ned broy chopped his connection with republicans the day he supported a crown oath goverment in IRELAND,
the r.a.f took there harriers back to crown britain along with those choppers, the flight of freedom.
i feel real alfie, not the real real, but still real, do you think that us IRISH are just as dopy as those other countrys that just kicked britain out, its not enough.

YO! Brian lol you captured Kelly,s character brilliantly,as for sgt Bob DOH!
ReplyDeleteAlthough the political message is always funny it is the artistic power that I marvel at. Wish I could draw like that.

nazis next-
ReplyDeletea major difference between SINN FEIN and the nazis-
the nazis were elected into power
just the once, in 1933, they then made germany into a dictatorship
started a war and lost,
SINN FEIN was elected during the war, and are still getting elected
in the peace process, to proceed to
where the IRISH want to be-
the nazis were death
SINN FEIN is life.

Did you ever get that feeling that life ain't worth living!

Robert, Brian is not for sale but you can have Mickeyboy on a free transfer geee we,ll even pay the bus fare!!
ReplyDeleteRobert, it is not questionable at all. This 'doh' image is part of the piss taking that invariably occurs when people want to wind.
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeleteAn offer, I unregrettably have to refuse.
"the nazis were death
SINN FEIN is life."
Would make a great caption on an advert for, 'Our Rivers Run Free'
Anthony,
ReplyDeleteI understand the tactic but this seems to be a constant which suggests a kernel of truth.
Aye Robert thats another lie,try fishing them without paying and you,l soon see how free they are,
ReplyDeleteRobert,

ReplyDeleteIf Malachi O'Doherty's account in 'The Trouble With Guns' is anything to go by Big Bob will not be amused.

Robert,
ReplyDeletehe knows how to take a ribbing and can be very humourous. I think if it is sneer or put down it would get up his nose more than the actual wind up.
Just stunned at the Nazis were death SF is life bit. But Robert had me laughin with tears in my eyes with the, did ye ever think that life wasn't worth living. ENTERTAINMENT for sure.
ReplyDeleteAs for big Bobby. Encountered him several times in the Crum and the Blocks. Seemed always very precise in what he wanted to say. Never would have considered him uninteligent.

Love the way Brian depicts the nazi ss lightining flashes!
ReplyDeleteAnthony what about John Kennedy and his cartoons,used to love his stuff on the blanket,Brian and John made a hell of a team.

Damn, alrighty then!!! - if we must. Just one question. Why do you write in poetic verse form?
"..the flight of freedom."
I think I can hear your name being called in the departure lounge MichaelHenry.
If or wee doggie had been marking his territory on kommadant Gerry,s boot,I think it would have added an extra wee touch!
ReplyDeleteMichaelHenry,
ReplyDelete"do you think that us IRISH are just as dopy as those other countrys that just kicked britain out, its not enough."
