Eton public school and its traditions cartoon
Modernising Eton cartoon.
A cartoon about attempts to modernise the attitudes at Eton College by the current head master, Simon Henderson,
His resolve has led to the sacking of Eton master Will Knowland on the grounds that a lecture that he prepared on the subject of patriarchy was deemed to be objectionable.
Part of the irony of the situation is that Eton is a hugely influential boys-only school steeped in out-dated tradition. If any part of the British education system can be accused of promoting the patriarchy this is it.
A cartoon about patriarchy, tradition, misogyny, free speech, progressive views and political correctness.

Chess cartoon. Each side playing with a mixture of black and white chess pieces
A cartoon about chess in which the black and white chess pieces are mixed.
In the layout of the chess board depicted the black and white chess pieces don’t occupy opposite ends of the board, but are mixed equally at each end.
The mixing of the black and white chess pieces symbolises the mixing of different types of people (not necessarily linked to race) rather than the polarising effect of each colour of piece congregating at one end.
As a result of the mixing of the pieces, with each ‘side’ in the chess game being made up of the two colours, it’s impossible for the two sides to engage in ‘battle’.
