editorial cartoons
Satirical newspaper drawings
Editorial cartoons are drawings that comment on politics or current events, typically appearing in newspapers and magazines.
They use caricature, symbolism, and satire to make a point—often critical of public figures or policies.
A single image with minimal text can deliver commentary more immediately than a written editorial: The editorial cartoon showed the senator as a puppet with corporate logos pulling his strings.
