Art critics, art historians, aestheticians, and others too often tend to dismiss cartoons and caricatures as silly not serious trivial, and irrelevant. Yet as the following list of cartoons and caricatures that have wreaked havoc throughout history should make clear, cartoons can have a powerful psychological, emotional, and political impact.

The Library of Congress has a Digital collection of Political Cartoons and how they have shaped Public Debates. The collection is fascinating. I highly recommend it.

An editorial cartoon, also known as a political cartoon, is an illustration containing a commentary that usually relates to current events or personalities. An artist who draws such images is known as an editorial cartoonist.

They typically combine artistic skill, hyperbole and satire in order to question authority and draw attention to corruption and other social ills.
Political cartoons can usually be found on the editorial page of many newspapers, although a few (such as Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury) are sometimes placed on the regular comic strip page. Most cartoonists use visual metaphors and caricatures to address complicated political situations, and thus sum up a current event with a humorous or emotional picture.

When I logged on this morning and I read my inbox I decided to look up the history of political cartoons and it really is an interesting one.
A cartoon was posted last night here in our group that certainly seems to have underscored the effect that cartoon have on people It was sent to a jury and the jury chose to leave it The responses in the thread were interesting as were comments sent in to the hosts.

15 Historic Cartoons That Changed The World (Original Post)
Autumn
Dec 2015
OP
enough
(13,259 posts)1. The Victor Navasky post in your first link is fascinating on many levels. Well worth a close read.
Thanks for posting that.
Autumn
(45,109 posts)2. That was excellent and the collection of the Library of Congress
was really something. Still looking there. The history of political cartoons is simply wonderful.
Scuba
(53,475 posts)3. I like the one featuring Hillary's trusted advisor ...
Autumn
(45,109 posts)4. The one that really gave me pause and hit on all cylenders was the one by
Art Spiegelman.
Scuba
(53,475 posts)5. Also excellent and more relevant than ever. Thanks.
Autumn
(45,109 posts)6. It was. Your welcome.
Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)7. I'm surprised he omitted the "Gerrymander" cartoon.
This is the cartoon that gave us the word "gerrymander" because a Massachusetts district, shaped to benefit the allies of Governor Elbridge Gerry, struck cartoonist Elkanah Tisdale as resembling a monster (once he added wings). It came to be called a Gerrymander with the last syllables of "salamander" added to Gerry's name.

(16,380 posts)8. The folks that whine
loudest about perpetually outraged on this website are generally the ones most guilty of that trait.
Meh.
