Many thanks, Steve, for a great set of posts – the cartoons are queuing up.

PS In case you are wondering where Mann’s attire comes from the reference is here.

Brilliant: Mann’s next case… let’s start a tip jar for Josh’s defense now.

He is going to need a larger shield. Plus he better make sure that hockey stick is sharpened.

I noticed that Mann stated in a response to a former student that he’s color blind… Perhaps some cartoons designed just for him might be in order?
(evil chuckle, as thoughts run to pastels that in monochromatic hues would sort of.. run together…)
…. But that handicap could explain why he missed the MWP when calculating the Hockey Stick…
He just couldn’t see it!

His shield should be the infamous tree slice.

For some reason, this Chip Bok cartoon reminded me of Josh.

Some rigor!
Btw. I followed the link to the WUWT to the Skeptical Science takes ‘creepy’ to a whole new level and noticed the black and white photo of german soldiers from the 1940s, where “Herr John Cook” was scribbled onto the image. I thought it strange no swastikas could be seen and the symbols in the image were unknown to me. After googling the image I found what looks like the original, complete with swastikas.
Clearly, what has happened is that the swastikas have been carefully replaced (using Photoshop or similar) with black and white versions of the SkS logo…. both on the banners in the background and on the white podium. It makes you think…
Not sure if this has been noted before, but there it is….

==================================

Darn.

Josh, while the garbage can lid is good, I second changing the shield to a tree slice with widely varying ring widths at various compass points on the circles. It could have a spike in the centre reminiscent of a Viking/Scandinavian source.

Josh, the only improvement would be de rigueur wearing a nappy (diaper for you lot)

DJ, I noticed the resemblance as well. I also think the figure to the right resembles our own little emperor himself in disguise.

Cor! Now that feral beavers aka “Castor fiber” have been cited in Devon for the first time since. c. AD 1500, eagle-eating eco-twits may find assistance in their damsite endeavors.

Actually, the cartoon looks like a pre-existing condition prior to rigor mortis.

================================================================
I’m not an artist but if a future version uses a tree slice then it should definitely be a splintered tree slice.
(And a broken and dangling hockey stick.)

Isn’t it illegal to mock a Nobel Prize winning “scientist”?

because the cartoon is way more flattering than real life.
