The Political Cartoon Gallery presents exhibition entitled “Misunderestimating the president through cartoons” through 18 March 2006. The exhibition features sixty original works by leading political cartoonists from the UK, the United States and Australia and span George W’s time since becoming President in 2000. Love him or hate him, American President George W. Bush is God’s gift to today’s political cartoonists. Pictures in a new exhibition depict President Bush as a crocodile, a spider and a dimwitted cowboy. A number of the drawings focus on the ongoing conflict in Iraq. And those are the polite images. "Misunderestimating the President Through Cartoons" looks back on the Bush years through political caricature, and highlights the gap between the relative restraint of American cartoonists and a far more savage British style.
