Two cartoons as a form of cultural critique that work to develop a culture of resistance to what is.
A political one from Britain:
Steve Bell
This is much ruder, tougher and more irreverant than the cartoonists working in Australia.
Some commentary on climate change in Australia. Some commentary on US politics and climate change.
Another kind of critique from America:
Signe Wilkinson
Though understated this cartoon is very effective in showing the banality and commercialism of American consumer culture around a religious event in a Christian nation. It highlights the contradiction between the market and culture and gently critiques those who think that both go together like a hand and glove.
