So far, it’s been a great list. I do hope you profile one of my personal favorite political cartoonists, Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Conrad.

Daumier is simply one of the best artists of all time. His story telling ability and narrative are second to none. His work is truly a visual inspiration to Will Eisner.

Great Feature. These artists are true treasures. If it weren’t for this darn internet then Newspapers would still be boss and we might be blessed with this level of political tooning talent/

I suppose you’ll get to the more recent ones as time goes by. I’m thinking of Scarfe, Trudeau, Brodner, and Toles. People today haven’t changed that much since Nast’s time. They don’t read the articles, but they can all figure out a cartoon.
There will always be a place for political illustration.
