By far the best British cartoonist, Low has been drawing brilliant political cartoons for 36 of his 47 years, but never before have events so played into his dexterous hands, given him a cast of characters so suited to his talents, created so many situations to outrage his liberalist sensibilities, or presented him with so much international double-dealing, blundering and inhumanity to whet the anger that guides...
