Best of 2018: Cartoons

We also owe a debt of gratitude to the “old hands” who have been with the Star for some time, with a level of generosity and solidarity only surpassed by the venom that they put into their cartooning.

Next year will present them all with new challenges, from privatisation of the NHS to Brexit, from endemic poverty to employment and union rights and from climate change to a possible general election.

The wealth of talent expressed in the rich variety of individual styles on display are a taster for the sharp-edged satire we can look forward to in the next 12 months.

Long may it continue.
