Political cartoons



I love political cartoons, it's an art. Cartoonists have to put an idea, sometimes about really complex situations (note that cartoonists can be sent to jail just like journalists...), in just one image, rarely more. That's one reason why I love reading Courrier International (and no I don't just look at the pictures...). In case you don't know this great magazine, Courrier International is a weekly publication that gathers and organizes articles from newspapers around the world. Most articles come with a cartoon, not necessarily the original one, and that's how I've discovered these great cartoonists:
- Patrick Chapatte
- El Roto
- No-Rio (Norio Yamanoi)
- Ann Telnaes
- Mix & Remix
- Danziger
- Damien Glez
- Hachfeld

There are many others to be discovered, some of their work can be found on Courrier International's cartoons page.
