Political Cartoons/YMMV
- Unfortunate Implications: Political cartoons seem to be the only medium left in which artists feel free to depict ethnic groups (particularly Mexicans) the way African-Americans were depicted in the 1930s, or politicians of opposing political parties (see any cartoon featuring Al Gore, for an example) the way you would portray a Card-Carrying Villain or Designated Villain in a comic book.
- This is also true of less evolved British Newspapers such as the Daily Mail, in which the portrayal of the Irish has not advanced very much past the simian, Neanderthal thug of Punch in the mid-19th century. Don't ask how they portray Arabs and Islam.
