Summary
Pat Oliphant, the legendary political cartoonist who skewered global leaders from LBJ to Trump, died at 90—leaving behind a half-century of fearless, razor-sharp satire that redefined editorial cartooning. More than just a drawer of caricatures, he was a sculptor, painter, and provocateur who wielded humor as a weapon against injustice. Born in Australia, he became one of America’s most syndicated cartoonists, even stepping back from drawing due to glaucoma—but kept painting in Santa Fe, hosting intellectual salons and challenging a world that’s lost its sense of satire. His son called him a vital voice in a time that desperately needs his kind of fearless debate. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
