About Slinging Satire: Masters of Political Cartoons:

The Cartoon Art Museum and the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists present Slinging Satire, a showcase of recent comics by today’s top political cartoonists.  Featured artists include Pulitzer Prize winners Mark Fiore, David Horsey, and Kevin Siers; Herblock Award winners Mat Bors, Jen Sorensen, Tom Tomorrow and Matt Wuerker; and a host of cartoonists from the publishing industry’s most prominent newspapers, websites, and magazines.

The cartoonists included in this exhibition span the political spectrum from bleeding-heart liberals to staunch conservatives.  Some draw cartoons using traditional tools, like pen and ink, to be featured in their daily newspaper.  Some create works with cutting edge digital tools, solely for online venues.  And some artists forego static images altogether, creating original animated cartoons to express their political opinions. From veteran creators to today’s cutting edge innovators, we invite you to explore the power and fun of visual satire.
