An editorial cartoon is not just a funny picture, says internationally known editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez. It is a powerful instrument of journalism, sometimes sharp and refined, its message cutting quickly to the point, and other times, blunt and overpowering, seizing the readers attention with its dark imagery.

His commentary on everything from the economy and markets to politics and international affairs offers a unique perspective on todays issues. They take a humorously insightful look at the world around us, making readers laugh while informing them on the issues of our times.
