MAGA, Memes and Momala: Political Cartoonists take on 2024 (updated)

Featuring
Matt Wuerker, editorial cartoonist and illustrator, POLITICO
Ann Telnaes, editorial cartoonist, The Washington Post
Michael Ramirez, editorial cartoonist, Las Vegas Review- Journal

interviewed by Roslyn Mazer

Join us as we celebrate freedom of speech and our right to satire with a freewheeling look at a wild campaign year, as seen by some of the nation's and world's best political cartoonists.
 
Cartoonists have long lived on the front lines in the fight for freedom of speech. The US Supreme Court used cartoons to codify our right to lampoon our political leaders in the seminal case, Hustler Magazine v. Falwell. Decline of local newspapers, explosion of social media, political polarization and global trends toward populism, nationalism and authoritarianism shape today's challenges.

That darn Michael Ramirez



the May 7 editorial cartoon (Michael Ramirez/Las Vegas Review-Journal for The Washington Post)

Another reason to be up in arms

Michael Ramirez's May 7 editorial cartoon, "A never-ending cycle," copied M.C. Escher's artwork "Drawing Hands" (with "apologies" to Escher as a credit). Escher emphatically rejected a letter from the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, requesting a drawing for an album cover. My opinion is he would not appreciate Ramirez's use of his work, either. But what was Ramirez's point?

I am unaware of President Biden making a dramatic increase in civil service employees. I guess Ramirez was satirizing aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. As most of that money buys weapons and ammunition made in the United States to send to foreign destinations, this circle provides profit for U.S. arms manufacturers and jobs for Americans, which I thought were conservative ideals. What's not to like, Mr. Ramirez?

Right-wing cartoonist Michael Ramirez joins WaPo on contract?

He's apparently joined Telnaes, de Adder, Pritchett and Rosen on contract? Is this being driven by owner Bezos who's eased out publisher Ryan by creating a job for him last week? Ramirez is definitely not in the tradition of Herblock and Toles, who were independent parts of the editorial team staff. And they have 5 cartoonists on contract, AFTER they terminated their syndicate, the WPWG, this year?


Anyway, read DD on the facts, not my speculation.

Michael Ramirez Has a Wash. Post Gig?
