Matt – politics raising a laugh

 

 

Matt Pritchett, the delightfully funny Telegraph cartoonist is celebrating his 30th work anniversary. His deceptively simple line-drawings pack a real punch and raise a smile.

Born 14 July 1964, he’s from a family of newspapermen but went to Art School, so came into the business from a different direction. He works in the office, first reading all the morning papers and then producing several rough sketches for approval, often homing in on the important story of the day before the editor.

He’s a Sun Cancer, which sign often has a nose for the public mood, which is trine Neptune and in a confident sextile to Jupiter in practical Taurus. He has a passionately enthusiastic Mars Venus in Gemini and the tough-minded signature Uranus Pluto opposition Saturn of the 1960s generation.

His two strongest Harmonics are the inspired-imagination 11H; and the unorthodox, genius 13H – which latter was also notable in Peter Sellers’ chart and seems to be significant amongst comedians.
