Pat Oliphant, shaping political satire for decades, dies at 90

Pat Oliphant, the Australian-born cartoonist who helped redefine modern political cartooning and won the 1967 Pulitzer for a Ho Chi Minh drawing he disliked, died at 90 in Santa Fe. Over six decades he drew for the Denver Post, Washington Star, and a wide syndication, popularized horizontal panels and hand shading, and used the Punk the penguin to voice controversial views; his fearless, confrontational style earned both praise as intellectual and criticism from groups offended by his work. He retired in 2015 due to failing eyesight, briefly returned online in 2017 to lampoon Trump, and is survived by his son Grant and two daughters.
