Steve Bell Award winning cartoonist

In this cartoon, award winning cartoonist, Steve Bell touches on current affairs of how high hopes for postal strike peace deal turned into all-out war.
It seems to illustrate royal mail and post union finding themselves even further apart after talks fail – with less room for compromise than ever.

Some people blame Adam Crozier for employing and paying a high wage to management staff (sven) also for replacing existing infrastructure with expensive new infrastructure (wembley).

Lastly, I particularly love the way the back ground reminds me of the famous Edvard Munch The Scream impressionism. Interesting, but at the same time a lttle spooky.

Aims and Type of Satire:
The fact that Mandy and Adam Crozier are both sticking up their fingers at a post box (which hilariously resembles a garbage can), to me is a SAVAGE attack on the way bell feels the postal service has been treated by management. These are perhaps the types of thoughts he is attempting to provoke within the mind of viewer.
