Churchill was a delight to the cartoonist. He was already a Brand Character by 1905. He adopted a characteristic hat, cigar, and perky hat. He affected a characteristic gesture which is used for the jacket of WSC a Cartoon Biography. His face, the cheeky baby, was easy to draw and even easier to recognise (see the Berger above). His policies were sufficiently energetic (even mad) to generate a wide range of narrative scenarios. His activities as an amateur painter (studied with Sickert), gave cartoonists a natural hook for certain situations. Churchill made a particular point of acquiring the artwork of the Low reproduced on the last row here.
