Abstract
- The article examines the role of political cartoonists in shaping people's political thought. Cartoonist James Gillray's collection consists of over five hundred satirical prints. The author compares political cartoons with missiles. According to the author Gillray's saturnine view of the world is related to his artistic gift. Another political cartoonist Garry Trudeau draws comics, not cartoons. His medium is the four-panel strip. The author comments that cartoonists may make their leaders to play a role of almost anything, from a guttering candle to a nuclear blast.
