About The Cartoonist

We use the power of satire and visual storytelling to cut through complexity and capture the defining social, economic, and political issues of our time. From Westminster to Brussels, from global summits to streets in crisis, The Cartoonist turns today’s developments into sharp, uncompromising imagery that speaks truth to power.
