The magic of Mac! Six of the best crackers from 2025 by our unmatchable cartoonist
In 2025, no story was too small or too big to capture the inimitable slapstick humor and signature wit of our beloved cartoonist, Mac.
From the drama of Sir Keir Starmer’s controversial Chagos deal to the early release from prison of thousands of criminals and Rachel Reeve’s tax raid, the news headlines had plenty to spark her imagination.
As well as the increase in the use of weight loss injections, even David Beckham’s knighthood has been taken into account.
What an eventful year 2025 has been, with Mac capturing every headline-making moment. Now let’s take a look at his six best cartoons…
FEBRUARY: ‘I know! Let’s give 18 billion pounds to Mauritius
MAY: ‘Great news, honey – you’re being released early!’
JUNE: ‘Very nice, David. But I recommend the one with the blue pinstripes, and I expect the King to have his own sword.’
AUGUST: ‘Apparently half the UK is addicted to so-called Mounjaro hits’
AUGUST: ‘Of course, sir. I’ll tell the chef. That’s 36 fish and chips, 23 burgers, no onions, 44 sausages and mash, 16…’
NOVEMBER: ‘You’re right Rachel, It shows honesty and integrity. But I think you should stick to the traditional delivery box on Wednesday.’
