Description
Nobody said leaving would be easy… did they? Brexit – A Drawn Out Process is a collection of James Mellor’s political cartoons from the referendum, the negotiations, the countdown to the Brexit-Day-that-wasn’t, and beyond. This cartoon compilation tells the story of Brexit, with its deal and derailments, its splits and the spats, and features a familiar cast of hopeless politicians, bemused onlookers and anthropomorphic animals.
In a book which crosses red lines, fails six tests, and crashes headlong into a backstop, James Mellor’s cartoons chronicle the Brexit story (so far…).
James Mellor is a freelance cartoonist based in the UK. He is a member of the Professional Cartoonists’ Organisation and the Cartoonists’ Club of Great Britain.
