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.
