I believe are generally a good mix.


I love political cartoons. For awhile I had a political cartoon in my sig. I'm going to see if I can find it. -searches-

I'm so happy I found it. Got a little nervous there.

That's a recent one, but there's another war one that I love and unfortunately haven't been able to find for years. Where there's a skeletal figure of woman (lady death) speaking to a young man about to enlist, enticing him with words to the effect of "I knew your father well." Although I'm certain that's not verbatim. However, there was an essence with the art and the message that stayed with me.

I also find almost any political cartoon with Teddy Roosevelt endearing as he's often portrayed as juvenile, for obvious reasons, although I rather liked the rough rider.

I'm not trying to just stay on America here, although it is a concentration, my apologies. I love foreign relations sketches as well, and plenty others.

TLDR; skip here: I was just wondering if anyone else has this sort of appreciation or something similiar. If you have a favorite political cartoon, please, please share. I'd like to see it and discuss it even.

I have been trying to make a political tektek, but I am not sure if it would classify as art.

Ha it's approaching the idea. Let me know when you do, i'd like to see it.

I tried at some point as well, but didn't keep it for too long.
