What is Political Satire?

Article Category: Humor

Author Name: Genevieve HoltCamp

One of history's most recent artistic representations, but now just about the most popular is the political cartoon. The political cartoon of the week happens to be imbued upon our culture and our history. It will be the time honored art form that expresses ideas, maxims and philosophies in a succinct and well meaning way. Whatever style of political cartoons you like to view, there's no argument in the idea that the medium has become one of the most widely used in these modern times today. Just about every political publication has some form of them, and they are becoming more widely and widely used for artists on the net. There is absolutely no doubting that the political cartoon is here to stay.
The particular history of the political cartoon can be traced back to the visual representations that the infant United States had while in the Revolution. From the famous "Join or Die" motif to the "Don't Tread on Me" image, all have grown to be synonymous with the various first political or editorial cartoons. In this day in age many of the cartoons may be found in the editorial pages of newspaper's and magazines, though you continue to see some right together with the rest of the comics. (Doonsbury happens to be an example) You'll also find to distinct styles in this day and age. The initial one is named the "traditional" style. This is the style that everyone thinks about when you imagine a "political cartoon". It uses symbolism (Uncle Sam, elephants and donkeys, etc...) they are still in wide spread use today, and are more visual. The image tells the tale about what the cartoon editorializes. Another type of political cartoon belongs to the "Altie" style. This style is much more linear and text heavy, and is likely to tell its story with words instead of pictures.
Something that is becoming seriously popular in recent years stands out as the introduction of an artist publishing their cartoons or comics online. Many popular comics and editorial cartoons are found on line instead of in the paper. This new avenue for cartoons, both regular and political alike, have given the entire spectrum of the medium a new and increasingly growing number of contributions. The political cartoon is no exception to this particular rule. Many artists have taken their political cartoons and satire online, not only so they don't have to fuss with finding syndication or newspapers to carry their cartoons, but so they are able reach a wider and diverse audience using their intellectual creations.
There's no doubt about it, the online world changed the way we view political cartoons. It's unlikely to change in the near future, nevertheless the prospect is exciting. It's almost a political cartoon in it of itself to find satire and intellectual criticism in a place where no one person can control who is right and who is wrong. That is the beauty of the cartoon on the internet. It doesn't only give true freedom of expression to the artist, but it allows more people to be confronted with ideas and intellectual stimuli than any other time.
