Kartun editorial

Kartun editorial, yang juga dikenal sebagai kartun politik, adalah sebuah ilustrasi yang berisi sebuah komentar yang biasanya berkaitan dengan peristiwa atau tokoh terkini. Artis yang menggambar gambar semacam itu dikenal sebagai kartunis editorial.

Gambar-gambar tersebut biasanya mencampur kemampuan artistik, hiperbol dan satir dalam rangka mempertanyakan otoritas dan menggambarkan perhatian terhadap korupsi dan masalah sosial lainnya.^[1]
