Brownman and W-Sidekick: Satirical Superhero Cartoon #1260725 (License: Personal Use)

This 2008 political cartoon by Steve Bell depicts a rotund, masked superhero labeled “B” (Brownman) sprinting skyward with exaggerated determination, while a diminutive, bespectacled sidekick marked “W” trails anxiously, delivering the iconic line: “Holey underwear, Brownman-what do we do next?” The artwork uses bold linework, expressive caricature, and comic-book tropes to critique real-world political figures and their handling of crises.

Used in editorial sections of newspapers or political satire websites to illustrate commentary on leadership failures, indecision, or policy missteps; targets readers seeking humorous yet pointed critiques of government actions.
