History of Editorial Cartooning Part II
The arts of Aleman was joined with Italy- and it's result is the standard cartoons we can see during 18th century. These cartoons became an important medium of articles discussing serious issues of society. Cartoons were made funny, with sense of humor and can influence public opinion about the issue.
Therefore, political cartoon is characterized of caricature- where in personalities is made funny; and allusion- a situation or a location where the individual will be placed.
In the rise and progress of the press freedom, it also brought political cartoon with it and EDITORIAL CARTOON has pop out.
On the time of Capitalism, that was when political and editorial cartoon reached Philippines. The oldest political/editorial cartoon in the Philippines was made during the colonialism of Americans and Japanese.
Political cartoons also served an important role during Martial Law but it's record of participation is limited. This was because of strict control over the papers by the dictatorial system.
That's why when articles and papers was finally free, cartoons came back on the limelight. But because of low support from the publishers, cartoon was once again placed on the lowest concern and was placed on the last pages of papers. we can noticed even now that the name of the Art Director is the one written on the Editorial Box and not the name of the Editorial Cartoonist.
Overall, the progress of editorial cartoon stopped when press freedom died during the Martial Law.
