Trebamo humor kao i zrak koji dišemo, kaže urednički karikaturist Patrick Chappatte. U govoru ilustriranom najzanimljivijim dijelovima karijere provedene razarajući sve, od diktatora i ideologa do selfieja i rulje na društvenim mrežama, Chappatte iznosi glasan, često urnebesan slučaj nužnosti satire. "Političke karikature rođene su s demokracijom i dolaze u probleme kada ih ima sloboda", kaže on.

Political cartoons have challenged the powerful for centuries, but today, they are threatened by censorship and social media mobs. A single cartoon can land its creator in prison, exile, or out of a job, as seen in Turkey, Syria, and even major US newspapers. When outrage silences satire, vital conversations and humor disappear from public life. Societies that abandon political cartoons risk losing a critical tool for holding authority to account.
