World Courant
A Cartoon Chronicle
I prefer to suppose cartoons are a beneficial and distinctive car for political opinion, however in fact I do — I am a cartoonist. The concept grown-ups like me get to lob their opinions round within the type of foolish drawings does appear stunning. It is actually a bit childish if you concentrate on it. It’s the type of misbehavior you may count on from crayon-wielding first-graders, nonetheless, we cartoonists get to, too. In actual fact, it is one thing we’ve been doing for hundreds of years — thanks Mr. Hogarth, Mssr. Daumier, Mr. Herblock and others. It stays a potent method to categorical one’s opinion, even within the period of memes and TikTok.
I’m very lucky to get to put up mine right here on POLITICO.
Cartoons present a snapshot of the march of folly that extra critical varieties discuss with as “politics.” Ideally, they seize the absurdity of a second, illuminate some low-hanging hypocrisy, or name out some head-slapping stupidity. Taken collectively they’ll function an amusing chronicle of our kooky instances. In that spirit I supply up a number of my very own cartoon efforts from 2023.
