Newspaper opinion drawing
An editorial cartoon is a drawing, typically appearing in newspapers or magazines, that comments on current events or political issues through satire, caricature, or visual metaphor.
Unlike comic strips meant purely for entertainment, editorial cartoons aim to persuade or provoke thought about public affairs: The editorial cartoon depicted the senator as a puppet with corporate logos on the strings.
