I love drawing cartoons of all sorts: silly, wacky, mysterious, introspective, fun, cultural, political, single panel, multi-panel, titled, caption-less, captioned. There are so many ways to go. The New Yorker has published many of them for over 20 years, some of them political. I also draw a political cartoon for Medium.com every Monday. Most every week, I create one that is about women’s rights around the world. Below is part of this week’s cartoon, which I drew with International Women’s Day in mind. I think about that subject just about every week.
This image was inspired when I read about a rapist in India who said his victim deserved it. He is in jail, to be killed by the government. He was found guilty; but the culture is guilty for perpetuating these perceptions, and I don’t mean just Indian culture. Ours is guilty of fostering tragically wrongful perceptions of others, too.
