It’ll come as no surprise to you that editorial cartoonists covered every angle of the impeachment trial this week, so that’s the focus. There were a few other notable cartoons that I just couldn’t leave out, though, so I’ve put those at the end. Enjoy!
For all of us who love editorial cartoons, we can thank Larry Flynt for protecting them. As horrid as the man was in pretty much every other way, he was a First Amendment evangelist and helped solidify what that right meant. I highly recommend Clay Jones’ essay that accompanied this cartoon. Be sure to read the part where Flynt sued Jerry Falwell and ended up taking the case to the Supreme Court.
