Ben Garrison “reacts” thread (bring your reading glasses)

[Catalogue Trousers]

Love the way that he has to label Man-a-lago. And Big, Beautiful Wall. Such confidence in what he depicts.

(Oh, and a big NO! pointing at War, for some reason. Sounds suspiciously like a pinko commie peacenik to me.)

Which Garrison cartoon was it? Had he visited and drawn one for the hotel with him sitting at a table labelled "table" and holding a spoon labelled "spoon of truth" while he stirred his tea (labelled tea)? With Buff Trump sitting opposite him with a napkin tucked into his suit while Fauci, an Antifa member and Biden stood outside the window shaking their fists at Garrison and Trump having fun?

It was a cartoon with Trump refusing a helmet with WAR on it being handed to him and saying "not my style". There was, now I remember, a very large (signed?) photo of Trump on an easel in the foyer too - perhaps he'd visited at some point.

A real air of self-delusion and outdated faux grandeur about the place. The serving staff were dressed in your sort of stereotypical - but non-sexy - black and white maid outfits. There was also dozens of rubbish paintings by a co-owner or friend/relative of the owner on the walls, and there were large coffee table books with photos of the artist hanging about and pretending to paint in different locations.

Every time I remember Camelot Castle Hotel, Tintagel, I'm sucked down a mind-tunnel of confusion and grotesque fascination.

I can't stop reading about this place now. The house painter has a website where he's modestly called 'England's greatest living artist' and is compared to Monet and Picasso, but he's always being held back by being slagged off on the internet apparently.

I suppose that he's sort of right to call Man-A-Lago the Southern White House. Just like the real White House, truly intrepid journalists found out just what a lying piece of shit the (ex) POTUS was there.

I stayed at the Camelot Castle Hotel in Tintagel with my parents when I was about 12. Two things I remember are that the bar was called the "Excali-bar" and my toilet spontaneously flushed itself in the middle of the night, which I put down to King Arthur's ghost having a shit.

Stayed in Tintagel on the way back from Land's End once, thought we'd look at Arthurian nonsense. Couldn't get a room in the Q Anon hotel, so stayed in some pub. Only us and the barmaid and some of her mates on the terrace, one of whom said "God just got back working border security at Dover. If I had my way I'd chuck em all straight back into the sea. Machine gun the boats."

Charming place.

What's his problem with John Major?

It's just seriously high-grade bonkers isn't it.

I like how he is utilising the technology of the internet (a normal comic strip format seems a waste online really) yet because he is so shit it just looks fucking awful.

Just goobledygook.

Can* we really discount the possibility that it's an elaborate hoax done in the service of art itself?

^{*Yes, we obviously can}
