“An
editorial cartoon is not just a funny picture,” says internationally known
editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez.
“It is a powerful instrument of journalism, sometimes sharp and refined,
its message cutting quickly to the point, and other times, blunt and
overpowering, seizing the readers’ attention with its dark imagery.”
In
a world of textual information, Ramirez combines an encyclopedic knowledge of
the news with a captivating drawing style to create consistently outstanding
and highly incisive satirical cartoons. His commentary on everything from the
economy and markets to politics and international affairs offers a unique
perspective on today’s issues. They take a humorously insightful look at the
world around us, making readers laugh while informing them on the issues of our
times.
Some
of his cartoons will make you laugh. Some of his cartoons will make you cry.
But all of them will make you think. Ramirez’s artistic skill, biting humor,
and penetrating analysis shine through and shed light on what’s really going on
in the world today.
