Although our cartoonists draw about a wide range of issues, some subjects get a lot of ink. On this page, you can find the collections we have created about these subjects, grouping together some of our favorite cartoons that provide different perspectives and global coverage.
Je suis Samuel
French teacher of History Samuel Paty was beheaded on October 16th by an 18-year old after showing a Charlie Hebdo cartoon of the prophet Mohammed during a lesson on freedom of expression.
The international community
Despite claiming to strive for peace, justice and stability, the international community, spearheaded by organizations like the UN, the WEF and the G7 or G20, more resembles a bickering group of toddlers that cannot agree on anything. Our cartoonists reflect on the world's leaders and the structures that are created to make them cooperate.
Borders
Borders are a large party of our identity. They define the 'us', the area of the world we call home. However, they do so by excluding the 'them', the others that live outside the borders we have defined. Borders are what binds us (the us within the borders), but also what divides us (humanity as a whole). Would the world be a better place without borders?
