Alex Plays the Game

Alex Calls the Shots

Another annus horribilissimus for Alex, although the new coalition government offers a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel and bankers are "allowed" to claim bonuses again. Alex and his ilk are not quite viewed as the lowest-of-the-low any more.

2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the Alex cartoon strip, which began mocking the financial world back in the yuppie years, when bankers were held in public contempt for being greedy, arrogant and immoral. A quarter of a century later they still are; which leaves us satirists wondering what on earth was the point?

Despite the predictions of the Mayans, and the best efforts of Alex and his fellow bankers in the City, the world failed to end in 2012, and instead managed to limp on into 2013. So it's business as usual as Alex heads off to the World Economic Forum at Davos to network with global power brokers, organizes a lunch strike in protest a cost-cutting at his bank, and is forced to re-pitch for the account of his long-time client Northern metal-basher Mr. Hardcastle.

The hugely successful Alex cartoon strip is back, with a further dose of highbrow humor in the best strips of 2014   Money printing by governments ensures the global economy is recovering—but no one has any idea what will occur once the official stimulus stops, so everyone fervently hopes it won't happen any time soon. Though deals are back in the City, the regular swinging fines being dished out to banks for LIBOR-rigging, and the mis-selling of financial products (not to mention the EU bonus cap), doesn't bode well for Alex's future remuneration. The massed ranks of compliance officers now employed by Megabank to implement the Bribery Act has decimated Alex's precious social season and dashed his chances of making it to the World Cup in Brazil on expenses. To his further chagrin, Alex breaks his leg party-hopping in Davos, and suffers the indignity of having to attend his wife Penny's corporate strategy weekend in the capacity of "significant other."
