CONCEIVED IN JANUARY by Dublin based Illustrator Steve McCarthy, The Good Times is a new way to consume news.
Describing themselves as “a gentle-hitting news team made up of Dublin’s finest illustrators”, their mission is simple: #WeDrawTheNews.
So what’s their process? McCarthy told TheJournal.ie: “Every week I invite the finest Illustrators I know to [my] studio. There over some coffee and pastries we illustrate the day’s news.”
Here are some recent highlights

Canada, gun ownership but with much less mass shootings.
Much like the rest of the world.
Something is broken in the USA.
@Barry Somers: Very true. Iceland is the same it is one of the countries with the least amount of gun crime, if not the least amount, but with the most amount of gun ownership per capita. There is definitely something seriously amiss in the American system
Guns aren’t the problem in the US. Vetting & enforcement is.
@León O’Keeffe: and the population of Iceland is??? It has relatively no crime, no particular need to own a gun either..
@León O’Keeffe: “but with the most amount of gun ownership per capita. T!
Iceland ranks 15th in the world for gun ownership per person, still quite high but not 1st place. USA is in 1st place.
Finland is another European country with a high rate of gun ownership, it’s in 10th place.

The US response to all conflicts is to respond with firepower. It brags about its military force, there is a constant attitude of ‘we’re better than you because we have better military hardware’. They glorify military service. The answer to all conflict or opinion is clouded by the possibility of use of firepower by government. There is a pervasive attitude that all can be solved by the gun and that life is cheap. These attitudes are not the same in Canada or Iceland or Switzerland where there is large gun ownership.
