Newspapers were declining, and the AAEC was interested in how our profession could make money on the internet. At the time, the answer was me. I had nearly full-time employment drawing three editorial cartoons a week, and I filled every other waking hour with freelance illustration and work on a graphic novel. Roaming through the convention, feeling awkward in a borrowed blazer amid the chandeliers and Pulitzer winners, I felt that perhaps I had chosen something of a real profession—one that could garner respect, or enough of a living that I could toast myself and my colleagues in a ballroom once a year.

Later, I would come to see that convention and its open bar as a last hurrah. The event was a financial disaster for the AAEC, leaving it mired in debt. I watched my peers move into other careers like graphic design and animation, which came with higher and steadier paychecks. Meanwhile, my promising start in syndication never paid me more than twenty thousand dollars a year. In Great Britain, around the same time, William Hogarth, an artist and social critic, drew satirical illustrations.

Political cartoons took off in popularity in tandem with the explosion in newspaper publishing facilitated by mass printing technology; illustrations were a convenient means to break up text-heavy pages. The godfather of the field, Thomas Nast, popularized such figures as the Democratic donkey and Uncle Sam. Benjamin Franklin This cartoon, first published in in the Pennsylvania Gazette, accompanied an editorial in which Franklin called for the American colonies to band together for protection against Native Americans and the French.

Punch An cartoon in Punch, a satirical magazine, warns cyclists about the penny-farthing. According to the Herb Block Foundation—a nonprofit established in by the bequest of Block, who had been a Washington Post cartoonist—by the start of the twentieth century there were an estimated two thousand editorial cartoonists employed by American newspapers. With the advent of radio, television, and other media, newspapers began a long, slow decline—and with them went the cartoonists.

In , the year the AAEC was formed, the association counted two hundred seventy-five staff cartoonists. Today, fewer than thirty political cartoonists are employed full-time, and every year the survivors are winnowed further by buyouts, layoffs, and age.

Even as the cartooning profession faded, the art of political cartooning grew sharper. Starting in the seventies, cartoonists experimented with new styles and modes of storytelling in the alt-weekly press. In the nineties, artists such as Derf and Tom Tomorrow infused political cartoons with more idiosyncratic artwork and cutting jokes.

I discovered these nineties cartoonists in the run-up to the Iraq War, when I was nineteen, after having spent my childhood reading superhero fare. Suddenly my interests were political, and I found myself drawing editorial cartoons. Cartooning in the Bush era felt important; wars without end and abuses of civil liberties were rolling out with high public approval, and reporters seemed to have abandoned their role as critics.

But it was during the same period that alt-weeklies got swallowed by chains and revenues tanked across the newspaper industry. The idea that every newsroom should employ a cartoonist quickly dissolved. Without stable jobs, we met our audiences directly, on social media; many of my cartoons took off with tens of thousands of shares and millions of views. There was no money in posting online, but we learned to turn follower counts into merch sales and commercial gigs; eventually, some of us signed up for Patreon and Substack.

Cartoonists have in recent years gravitated more toward memoir and essay, freeing them from reacting to the news of the day.

Courtesy of the Village Voice. Tom Tomorrow I was inspired to draw political comics when I discovered artists like Tomorrow in the alt-weeklies of the Nineties. He and others of that era would become regulars at The Nib. Courtesy Tom Tomorrow, Along with the fire hose of social media attention came corporate capital.

In , I got my first staff job, as a cartoonist and editor at Medium. The role was vague and in constant flux, but the company was willing to experiment on an idea for an all-comics publication: The Nib. The Nib was popular, reaching millions of readers every month.

But Medium was not there to serve cartooning; cartooning was there to serve it. Not quite two years after it started, almost all the editorial staff was laid off. I took a buyout and retained The Nib.

Some online media companies are figuring out the future better than others. They never really were. From the beginning, digital outlets rarely made space for political cartoonists as staffers or even as freelance contributors—and so the move away from print has permanently decoupled political cartoons from news journalism.

I have often marveled that The Nib was ever able to exist at all. Surely, I thought, my top talent would be poached by media companies with deeper pockets. But it never happened. In April, I quit political cartooning. Deep burnout had set in over the course of the pandemic, and I decided to devote time to other kinds of work—genre comics, nonfiction graphic novels. It was mostly a creative decision, but there was also a financial incentive: while the market for political cartoons is shrinking, graphic novels are booming.

The revenue from political cartooning, meanwhile, must be the combined income of the last thirty people doing it. I am still running The Nib —an awkward perch for a retired political cartoonist. The magazine is small and completely independent, funded by subscribers. Yet the comics scene as a whole is more fiercely political than ever—far more than when I started drawing.

Navel-gazing indie comics, once dominated by white men, have given way to nonfiction work by artists such as Niccolo Pizarro, Ben Passmore, Mattie Lubchansky, and Whit Taylor, who employ a variety of styles to comment on the state of the world.

A perusal of my Instagram feed in May showed comic essays on queer identity, illustrations in support of Palestine, and an instructional comic from NPR on how bystanders can intervene in racist attacks on Asians. Gemma Correll The early days of The Nib were exciting, though ultimately the publication was short-lived.

I wanted to publish political and nonfiction comics by new artists. Correll was one of our first contributors and remains one of the most popular. Gemma Correll for The Nib. In June, many of us in the field were dismayed to find that, for the first time since —and in one of the most politically tumultuous years of our lifetimes—the Pulitzer Prize board declined to issue an award for editorial cartooning. I had left at the right moment.

I might dip into political cartoons again someday. Maybe The Nib will collapse. Maybe my stress-induced chest pains will kill me. All I know is that, even if political cartoons are disappearing, comics with politics in them are everywhere.

He has also seen that the mission of the games always shines through. Payne said the cartoons also tell the story of how the Olympics have been used as a political pawn. Skip to content. Tokyo was the first Olympic Games to be postponed. However, in recent years there have been a further three occasions when, but for the grace of God, the Games were nearly postponed.

Political Cartoons Analysis: A Brief History

Political cartoons portraying the Musha Uprising in Taiwan under Japanese rule Use of the great chain multimodal metaphors and conceptual blending. Hayato Saito University of California, Berkeley. Wen-yu Chiang National Taiwan University. This study analyzes five political cartoons published in the Taiwan Nichinichi Shinpo Taiwan Daily Newspaper depicting the Musha Uprising, an indigenous rebellion against Japanese colonial rule that occurred in Taiwan in The study has produced two important findings and theoretical implications. We analyze the social and historical context to explain why these cartoons used the boar as a metaphor representing the indigenous people. Second, our results reveal paradoxical and ambivalent perspectives in the cartoons. On one hand, the metaphor of Human vs. Animal reproduced the unequal hierarchical relations between the colonizers and the colonized.

Britain’s Best Political Cartoons 2020 by Tim Benson

Until last February, I had been an unknown freelance artist for 40 years. In my 5 years with the Morning Star , , I sent them many cartoons that would no doubt have been considered offensive by somebody. The Star faced swift backlash for publishing this cartoon.

Welcome to Brexit, Trump, leadership challenges - those were the days. The Morrison government, after delivering its promised tax cuts, had only one thing on its policy mind - protecting its presumptive budget surplus. Sure, avoiding questions about such trifles as sports rorts, robodebt cock-ups, and water scams required an inordinate amount of energy. But, all in all, it must have seemed like a good time to take a holiday.
