Satirical comics are a form of visual art that use humor, irony, and exaggeration to critique or comment on social, political, or cultural issues. They often feature caricatures of public figures, such as politicians or celebrities, and highlight the absurdities of their actions or beliefs. This genre aims to provoke thought and discussion while entertaining the audience. These comics can be found in various formats, including editorial cartoons in newspapers, graphic novels, and online platforms. Notable examples include the works of Gary Larson and The Far Side, as well as The New Yorker cartoons, which often blend wit with sharp social commentary.
