Announcement & Sticky

Global announcement:
Caricature Game - subject Tom Cruise, Sept 10

Everyone is welcome to contribute
Just for fun and as a really helpful learning tool (peer review and what not) all cartoonist forum members are invited to draw/cartoon a caricature of Tom Cruise.

There are no rules re this as freedom of expression is the name of the game. The more diversity of styles the better IMO.

If this caricature game goes well, we'll think of a character to create perhaps monthly.

Good luck and enjoy!!

Why political cartoons are so influential and important - cartoon news
http://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorialopinion/article/818226--the-power-of-political-cartoons

Great article here in TheStar which chronicles Canadas history re political cartoons. It brilliantly and eloquently explains the importance, the role and the influence of political cartoons which cannot be under estimated! Political cartoons speak to the masses (in some cases partially illiterate masses) in a way literature cannot. Check out the article!
