Created by Jim Morrissey, award-winning Editorial Cartoonist for the Colorado Sun. Features the most admired Editorial Cartoonists in the industry, sharing advice, revealing process and hopefully bringing a smile to cynics as to why this form of satire is more important than ever.
Graeme MacKay is the editorial cartoonist for The Hamilton Spectator, where he has been skewering Canadian politics (and now many American Politicians) and global absurdities with ink and wit since 1997. His cartoons blend sharp satire with a deep understanding of current events, making him a staple in Canadian journalism. Graeme also shares his work and insights on his website, mackaycartoons.net (https://mackaycartoons.net/), and engages audiences by offering a behind-the-scenes look at the art and impact of editorial cartooning.

Politics Ink Episode 5 - Angelo Lopez
My guest today is Angelo Lopez, whose remarkable work has been featured in publications like Philippines Today, a Filipino American newspaper, and the Tri-City Voice, a Bay Area outlet. Currently, he is also creating pieces for display at Cartoon Movement.
Angelo has received the Sigma Delta Chi Awards for Editorial Cartoons in both 2013 and 2015. Additionally, in 2016, he was honored with the RFK Book and Journalism Award for his editorial cartoons. His artistic style is profoundly inspired by the renowned muralists of the 1930s, particularly Thomas Hart Benton and Diego Rivera.
Angelo stands out as one of the most empathetic individuals I have ever encountered; he truly embodies the principle of justice and uses his cartoons to give a voice to the voiceless.
