An
editorial cartoon, also known as a political cartoon, is an illustration or
comic strip containing a political or social message, that usually relates to
current events or personalities. Editorial cartoons can usually be
found on the editorial page of most newspapers, although a few, like Garry
Trudeau's Doonesbury are sometimes found on the regular comics page. Recently,
many radical or minority issue editorial cartoonists who would previously have
been obscure have found large audiences on the internet. While not carrying the
same legitimacy as corporate newspaper cartoonists, self-editing online
cartoonists who do not find themselves subject to the constraints of the
newspaper industry have often produced challenging, incisive and acerbic work
with great visual innovation. Although their style, technique or viewpoints may
differ, editorial cartoonists draw attention to important social and political
issues.
