Pat Oliphant

We've seen him caricatured (by Pat Oliphant for The Nib) as a preening SS officer being heiled by Steve Bannon. We've seen him portrayed (by Signe Wilkinson of the Philadelphia Daily News) linking arms with a Confederate and a Nazi. We've seen him depicted (by Mike Luckovich of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution) as ...

We've gotten complaints about less neatly partisan political issues over the years as well, including a furor back in 2014 over cartoons by the legendary (but now retired) cartoonist Pat Oliphant, who was no fan of Israel.
