OK lovelies, time for the results of the grand #DrawACovidDenier Challenge. Honestly, I was going to engage in a lengthy rant about these attention seeking psychotic cranks, but fuck em - why should they steal my life? Suffice it to say they have all the charm of the kind of...

...squalid psychopath who gatecrashes funerals to spit in the mourners' face to show them how brilliant they are at spitting, while the only qualifications of the higher profile hack cranks is a capacity to impress the editors of rags that think Journalism is just a side project

...of charging the public to laugh at the zanies in Bedlam. As I say, fuck 'em. And by god you have. Let's get straight on with it. Lovely general observations from @artuscreative, @BackwardNut & @cartoonsbypete

...& a particularly impressive bit of simplicity from previous winner @Chance4321. Also aimed squarely at the bunch of them are these from @conniptions @dawnymock & @deequedraws

And here's a good point well made from @easycartoons & another one from @JasonNParkins, drawn I believe from the life! @k8tielou78's 8 year old daughter Ciara is, once more, on the button, and previous winner @joe_ackenbush offer brief respite with THE OBVIOUS JOKE thank God

More fine fine art from @KazSteeleActor, more history from @mhoulden, a nice gag from previous winner @mikestokoe & a really great dumb joke (the best kind) from @nufin2do

Still making general points about these reckless fucking morons, @redmancreative effectively sums up EVERYTHING with this, as does the great @roystoncartoons, while former winner (also a @PrivateEyeNews stalwart) @SaHreports captures the type perfectly

More evocations of the generality of the Moronist Fatuous Front from @SKrumping, former winner @Songicartoons, @StephenCliffe3, fomer winner @StickyDrawer

...@t0adscroak @ThisIsBilly_B (Particularly good, this one) @Tiduswins @ @Withnailandeye1

...and all summed up with neat typographical desptach, as ever, by the commendably Tourettic @SwissRich71! Bravo!

And now the portraits lovingly limned of recognisable individuals, which has clearly brought a lot of you a great deal of satisfaction - and in good time possibly legal action and loss of employment! Hooray! Here's Milord Sumption, from @DavidWaywell @t_colgate & @thesilentview

And a couple of Piers Corbyns from @JaseToons & @StuDrawings, both former winners, and our solitary Icke, also from @StuDrawings

Not that many Lawrence Foxes either, thank God - these from the incomparable @kevinwellsart & @ThreadsAplenty , & only two individual Julia Hartey Brewers as far as I can tell, from @raisethegame & @t_unwin

Little Toby Young we have, of course, dealt with already, but here's these lovely things from @isabelshadows @StephenCliffe3 & @thezeitgeese

Likewise, not many individual Peter Hitchenses, tho this is fine work from @kevinwellsart & @t_colgate

That said, many of you opted for group compositions. This is quite exceptional from former winner @DavidWaywell, with more good honest vicious visual voodoo from @lightacandleOTM & recent joint winners @nickymonkey & @olepoplia

...plus this from the splendid @PastorSauceBoat

And forgive me - I missed a Toby from @DavidTarbox, a Julie HeartlessDooDah from @SKrumping & a couple of Memorial Trumps, from @oedipuswrecks & @SteveWeatherill respectively

Plus this group portrait from the incomparable @DHBJones

Which features front & centre the last target for your ire. This, by @isabelshadows, is just joyously funny, and @kevinwellsart's is fantastically horrible, as ever, as is @joe_ackenbush's, while the wonderful @KJLambcartoons is just on the money

However, pausing only to give a special mention to @Carol84111450 for her very but deadly (sic) gag, and @ColinDukelow for an excellent comedy skeleton...

...the most profoundly disturbing & therefore chillingly hilarious winning cartoon is by the magnificent @blueloutter, only the 4th winner of these little Challenges I actually know personally. Ignoring that, this is simply brilliant, & uncannily close to a truth I dare not tell

So well done Lou! And thanks to everyone as ever. Get yer Murdochs in by Sunday night please, and enjoy English Republic Day tomorrow in your own safe way!
