December 2025 TEAL LINES cartoon: "The 8th blunder of the world" by Vinay Jalla.
Britain’s newest tourist attraction: A black hole so big even Rachel Reeves can’t budget around it. Only one way to fill it… tax the view.
November 2025 TEAL LINES cartoon: "Tax Horse" by Vinay Jalla.
When it comes to the cost of living in Britain, sometimes it feels like the cart’s got it backwards. In this satirical piece by Vinay Jalla, the “Tax Horse” rides the weary taxpayer — a visual metaphor for how rising taxes are weighing down ordinary people while the system sits comfortably in the cart.
October 2025 TEAL LINES cartoon: "5 Vices - POV" by Vinay Jalla.
Vinay Jalla takes us on a wry, satirical stroll through the distorted lenses of human weakness. His cartoon reframes the ancient foes of inner growth — lust, anger, greed, ego, and attachment — not as abstract demons but as spectacles we insist on wearing, each pair warping our vision of the world.
September 2025 Cartoon: '"Tides of belonging" by Vinay Jalla
When even fish get caught in the tide of borders. 🐟 Satire swims deeper than the surface.
Vinay Jalla’s latest cartoon reminds us: sometimes the sharpest commentary comes with a smile.
August 2025 Cartoon: '"All are bent" by Vinay Jalla
Vinay Jalla's cartoon peels back a truth we often ignore. Nature doesn’t do “factory settings.” From curly cucumbers to bent bananas, we humans seem to expect barcode-level perfection from the natural world. But maybe… the problem isn’t with the banana. It’s with our twisted expectations.
July 2025 Cartoon: "The Modern Thinker" by Vinay Jalla
This is a single-line illustration that says more with less. Vinay Jalla’s minimalist yet striking cartoon for July 2025 captures the essence of our screen-obsessed era.
In this piece, a lone figure hunched forward, eyes locked onto his mobile phone — a pose so familiar it’s practically instinctual. But look closer: it cleverly mirrors the iconic silhouette of Rodin’s The Thinker.
Only this time, the deep contemplation isn’t on philosophy or existence… it’s on doomscrolling, memes, and unread WhatsApps.
With a playful nod to classical art and a gentle critique of modern habits, The Modern Thinker invites us to laugh, reflect, and maybe even sit up a little straighter.
PS: The entire cartoon is formed from a single, unbroken line that never lifts from the page.
June 2025 Cartoon: "Where can I find peace" by Vinay Jalla
A masterclass in minimalism, this simple-line cartoon speaks volumes. The letters P E A C E stand tall, subtly shaped to form the silhouette of a searching figure. One arm shields his eyes as he gazes outward, scanning the horizon. Yet ironically, he is peace itself, standing within the word.
A quiet reminder in loud times. We often look far and wide for peace, never realising we carry it inside. In a world restless with noise and turmoil, Vinay Jalla’s art gently reveals the truth. Peace isn’t out there... it’s you.
May 2025 - "Military Budget" is a sharp, satirical cartoon by Vinay Jalla that exposes the ego-fuelled arms race among global superpowers. Featuring nuclear warheads personified as towering symbols of male leaders of the US, China, Russia, Germany, and India. The work highlights the performative bravado that often surrounds defence budgets.
With the US declaring, "Mine’s bigger than yours," the cartoon gently critiques the symbolism and ego at play in international power dynamics, raising questions about priorities in an increasingly fragile world.
April 2025 - Vinay Jalla’s cartoon, Trade Wars, offers a sharp and satirical take on the global economic turmoil triggered by Trump's tariff policies. The illustration presents tariffs as a double-edged sword, wielded recklessly, cutting both ways and harming not just the intended targets but also those imposing them.
Countries retaliate with reciprocal tariffs, creating a chaotic spiral of economic uncertainty and instability. The imagery captures the absurdity of protectionist policies that claim to strengthen economies but, in reality, disrupt global trade, strain relations, and leave businesses and consumers caught in the crossfire.
With bold lines and biting humour, Trade Wars reflects the unpredictability of modern geopolitics where no one truly wins, and economic volatility becomes the only certainty.
March 2025 - Vinay Jalla’s cartoon, "Happiness is You," is a thought-provoking illustration that challenges the notion that material wealth (cars, money, and skyscrapers) defines happiness. Instead, it portrays a content individual radiating joy from within, emphasising that true happiness comes from self-fulfillment rather than external possessions.
Inspired by the latest Global Happiness rankings, this piece invites viewers to reflect on what truly brings joy in life. Do material gains lead to lasting happiness, or is it the simple, intangible things like inner peace and meaningful connections that matter most?
February 2025 - The cartoon captures Virat Kohli’s recent heroics against Pakistan, portraying him as the Kohinoor diamond, India’s ultimate gem. Kohli stands tall, radiating brilliance, much like the legendary diamond itself. The shine of the Kohinoor symbolises his unmatched skill, resilience, and ability to deliver under pressure, illuminating India’s cricketing glory. The artwork creatively fuses history and sports, showcasing Kohli as a national treasure whose performances sparkle on the grandest stage, much like the iconic diamond that has captivated generations.
