* James Gillray, late 18th and early 19th century cartoonist who is still cruder and more vicious than any of his mainstream successors.

Line 19:
Some modern political cartoonists, such as Mike Peters and Jeff MacNelly, have also drawn daily comic strips.
 
The now-defunct UK magazine ''[[Punch]]'' was famous for its well-drawn cartoons for a long period, a number of them turning up in school history books.
 
Most British newspapers still have political cartoonists on the strength. A typical example would be Steve Bell, who draws both editorial cartoons and a long-running daily political strip called ''[[If (Comic Strip)|If...]]'' for the [[British Newspapers|Guardian]]. Cartoonists of other political hues are also available.
