Something to do with the captcha (word verification) spam guard, I think. Others have complained about that so I'll look into it.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the Barney Bubbles post got a bit out of hand.

He's frequently done this with older cartoonists as well, using, say, one of Low's famous Second World War cartoons in order to make a point about the present. <BR/><BR/>Martin Rowson's cartoon in todays edition does exactly this with Millais' Pears' Soap painting.<BR/><BR/>http://www.guardian.co.uk/cartoons/martinrowson/0,,2011279,00.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-39399733975418905892007-02-12T08:16:00.000-05:002007-02-12T08:16:00.000-05:00Always loved the last panel on that page.

Not quite Lichtenstein as he usually names the orginal artist at the bottom, but certainly he's happy to steal/ plagiarise with the best of them.
