I rather liked both Peter Brookes and Nicholas Garland in their day, though looking back it was for probably for their draughtsmanship rather than their humour (into which their ingenuity didn't always translate). The Telegraph's current political cartoonist is unimpressive on both counts. I struggle to appreciate Rowson's darkness and am repelled by Steve Bell's cruelty, for all that they hark back to Gillray, Cruikshank, etc.
