The editorial page cartoon is intended to depict, at a glance, a convincing review of contemporary world history. the cartoons on this page were drawn by HAL TALBURT, one of the greatest political caricaturists of the day.

Good composition in a political cartoon is most important as it directs the reader’s attention to the focal point of a cartoon.

Talburt’s cartoon at the left is an “Eye-Level” head-on type of composition with an eye line directed from upper left to lower right.
