Unlocking a Quirky Personal Goal

19th December 2025 by Michele Leave a Comment

If you’re based in Ireland then you’ve probably picked up a copy of the Irish Times at some point. One of the things that the IT has always done well was the cartoons. Political cartoons in newspapers are an art form. They’re often cutting, and done right can highlight the absurdity of current politics, both domestic and international. I have been a fan of the art for years.

The Irish Times has been publishing work by Martyn Turner for over 50 years and they also do a calendar every year:

Yes, that’s our logo on there!

I’ve always like Martyn’s work so this collaboration is particularly nice and I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on the calendar next week.

So mark the date in your calendar if you’re in Ireland – December 26th!
