View source for Fizz

Fizz was a political cartoonist for the [[Ankh-Morpork Times]]. His depictions of [[Morporkia]] raise a manly sigh in many a patriotic breast. His depiction of [[Polly Perks]] raised an embarrassed red flush in hers. Which, being male, he doesn't have; honestly, it's just a figure of speech...

== Appearances ==
Fizz never appears in person, but his cartoons notably feature in:
* {{T!}} - [[Vimes]] mentions that Sybil buys the original whenever Sam features in one of Fizz's cartoons
* {{MR}} - mentions several patriotic cartoons about the war in [[Borogravia]], including one in the frontispiece illustrated by [[Paul Kidby]]

== Annotations ==
* The long-lived satirical magazine '''''[[wikipedia:Punch (magazine)|Punch]]''''', in its nineteenth century heyday, employed a house cartoonist called "Phiz" (short for "Phizzog", a slang term for "face" derived from "physiognomy"). ''Punch'' was a patriotic British magazine which, while occasionally a source of embarrassment for British governments, soon became part of the Establishment. It faded and died in the late twentieth century under pressure from more genuinely satirical publications such as ''"Private Eye"''. Both the cartoon in the frontispiece of {{MR}} and the general tone of the [[Ankh-Morpork Times]] are strongly reminiscent of the cartoon and written style of ''Punch'' in its Victorian heyday.
