In 1990 The New York Times called him \u201cthe most influential editorial cartoonist now working.\u201d The film covers the history and importance of political cartoons in global democracies, as well as the decline in the profession and in the newspaper industry.  It also highlights the effects of extreme political partisanship on media and editorial cartooning, and shows how Oliphant used his biting wit, sharp critical eye and masterful drawing skills to take on presidents, popes and the powers that be.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ASA_Poster_lowres.jpg\" alt=\"ASA_Poster_lowres\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1757\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ASA_Poster_lowres.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ASA_Poster_lowres-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ASA_Poster_lowres-768x1124.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ASA_Poster_lowres-699x1024.jpg 699w, https:\/\/www.smartcine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ASA_Poster_lowres-660x966.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magnolia Pictures has debuted the trailer and poster for director Bill Banowsky\u2019s A SAVAGE ART: THE LIFE &#038; CARTOONS OF PAT OLIPHANT, a timely documentary about the renowned Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist who bravely took on presidents, popes and the American corporate class with his mighty pen.
