newspaper cartoon

Printed funny pages

A newspaper cartoon is an illustration appearing in a newspaper, typically either a single-panel editorial cartoon commenting on current events or politics, or a multi-panel comic strip offering humor or serialized storytelling.

Editorial cartoons use caricature and visual metaphor to make political points; comic strips like *Peanuts* or *Garfield* appear in dedicated sections.

The newspaper cartoon depicted the senator as a weathervane.
