Pat Oliphant, Cartoonist, Dies at 90 [View all]

Another one of our greats has departed:



Mr. Oliphant, who owned and flew a small plane and cultivated a garden in Santa Fe for his vegetarian tastes, retired from cartooning in 2015. But a year later, Donald J. Trump, who had made disparaging remarks about Muslims and Mexicans and boasted of sexual conquests, was elected president.

Mr. Oliphant came out of retirement to express his visceral feelings about Mr. Trump for The Nib, a cartoon website. In one cartoon, he portrayed the president as a member of the Hitler Youth, with jackboots and a swastika armband, admiring himself in a pier glass as a ghoulish Steve Bannon salutes his führer.

“How do I look, Herr Bannon?”

“Exquisite as usual, Herr Trump,” the toady says.

“Heil Trump!” says a little piggy.
