A. Redfield Cartoons

“It is impossible for the political cartoonist to make everybody happy with his work. If you agree with his point of view you will think he is very highly gifted. If you disagree with him, you will think he has no talent at all. Everybody can love a comic strip artist. Not everybody can love a political cartoonist. If you want to be loved by everybody, don’t become a political cartoonist.” (Syd Hoff, It’s Fun Learning to Cartoon, 1952)

“And I followed my own advice. I stuck to the comic side of cartooning for all these years, except for a stretch way back in the early days of Hitler’s rise to power, when I dabbled in [political] drawings […], and offered them anywhere they would be accepted.” (Syd Hoff, Editorial and Political Cartooning, 1976)
