Dave Brown's cartoon of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as a "Monster eating Palestinian babies" in a paraphrase on Saturn Devouring One of his Children, a grotesque painting done by Francisco de Goya in 1819.

Brown became well known for his cartoon of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as a "Monster eating Palestinian babies" in a paraphrase on Saturn Devouring One of his Children, a grotesque painting done by Francisco de Goya in 1819. For this cartoon, Brown won the 2003 Political Cartoon of the Year award, presented by the former cabinet minister Clare Short on 25 November 2003 at the headquarters of The Economist in London.[2]

After it received numerous complaints, the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) decided that the cartoon did not breach its code.[3]

gollark: With my actual x86-based computer, I mostly control it, except... lots of the firmware, the intel management engine, and the BIOS.
gollark: Mine does too, but it has an annoying screen complaining about the bootloader being unlocked on boot.
gollark: Android phones have the same issue (iOS too, more so, but I have an android one so I'll complain about it) - you can barely do anything to it unless you root it, and even that's a hassle and still has limitations.
