Political cartoons are such an interesting window into a country's culture. You learn a lot about what people find funny there, or what flavor of sarcasm fits — all while learning about a specific political or cultural event.
But there are moments where the feeling is universal.

He leaves behind a massive body of work and millions of heartbroken fans.
