Precisamos tanto de humor como do ar que respiramos, diz o cartunista editorial Patrick Chappatte. Numa palestra ilustrada com pontos altos duma carreira passada a espicaçar tudo, de ditadores e ideólogos a "selfies" e massas das redes sociais, Chappatte defende um caso sonoro e quase sempre hilariante na defesa da necessidade da sátira. "Os cartunes políticos nasceram com a democracia, e quando a liberdade é ameaçada, eles também são", diz ele.

"End of political cartoons at The New York Times: The overwhelming response"

The response to the above essay has been vigorous, global, thought-provoking — and also a bit overwhelming. It's opening up a whole conversation on freedom of expression, the media and social media. We'll need to come back to it. This is a non-exhaustive list of press articles, comments and blog posts, and a selection of the many cartoons made by colleagues worldwide. Stay tuned.
