Cartoon showing Dutch king Willem Alexander and queen Maxima entering a guest suite of the White House as Donald Trump is holding the door open. The room has a golden bed with many, many decorations, featuring many portraits of Donald Trump. At the foot of the bed are three statuettes of Trump naked, his private parts covered up by a red tie. Above the bed is a giant portrait of a naked Trump, lounging amidst piles of money. Willem Alexander is looking very uncomfortable and Maxima is looking very nauseous. Through the window, we see an ICE raid.

Logeerpartij. Cartoon voor @trouw.nl

(English: Dutch king Willem Alexander and queen Maxima are sleeping over at the White House tonight as part of their trip to the US.)

Cartoon showing a map of the Middle East: Iran is occupied by a skeleton in ayatollah's clothing raining down missiles from his eye sockets on the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump takes aims with a bazooka. Netanyahu is in a soiled diaper also shooting at Iran, while crushing Palestinian children. Various other leaders surround the scene.

This brilliant cartoon by Tunisian cartoonist Z inspired me to write a short piece for @cartoonmovement.com about the unchanging nature of political cartoons through time: cartoonmovement.substack.com/p/the-least-...

Cartoon showing a winners podium with a banner behind it that reads: 'War in Iran - Award ceremony'. The Grim Reaper stands on top in 1st place, while Trump and Mojtaba Khamenei stand on either side him, lower, as runners-up. Trump is making a loser sign with his hand towards Khamenei, while Khamenei has both his hands raised making the 'v' of victory. Both Trump and Khamenei have painted a '1' on their place on the winners podium, using red paint (or blood), which has also stained their hands. In the background we see the devastation of war.

Cartoon showing the earth as a gambling addict sitting at a slot machine. The slot machine has the word ‘Losing streak’ in elegant letters at the top, and the reels display portraits of Trump, Netanyahu and Putin, a smoking factory, a dead tree, a missile, a pile of skulls in a puddle of blood and a burning thermometer. There are only losing combinations.

The earth is on a losing streak. Cartoon from last year.

Cartoon by Leopold Maurer showing the Artemis II space capsule orbiting the moon. Two speech balloons emerge from the capsule. The first says: 'No, Mr. President, we cannot occupy the moon.' The second says: 'No. Nor can we build a ballroom on it.'

Cartoon by Marian Kamensky with six panels, showing Trump behind a desk with a portrait of himself behind him. In the first panel, a fly flies into frame. Trump says 'Hi Iran!'. The fly proceeds to land on Trump's nose in the portrait. Trump swats the fly, leaving a red stain on the place of his nose, turning this portrait into clown's face. He then proceeds to push a big red (nuclear) button on his desk.

Cartoon showing a giant radio in the shape of Donald Trump. His mouth is a large, blaring, speaker. Two knobs, placed where his cheeks should be, are labeled ‘Tuning’ and ‘Volume’ and are shaped like heads of Pinocchio, with long noses indicating the position of the knobs. The volume is set to max. A large dial sits in place of the eyes; a red tie from the needle showing the frequency. People with red caps on have gathered around the radio, listening intently. Other people are walking around with their fingers in their ears or holding their hands over their ears against the noise.

Promotional card for the International Journalism Festival 2026 (XX Edition, Free Entry), Perugia, Italy, 15–18 April. Session: "The Power of Editorial Cartoons." Speakers: Emanuele Del Rosso, Tjeerd Royaards. Friday 17 April. #ijf26. Website: journalismfestival.com. The speakers are represented as caricatures.

📌 Why are political cartoons among the first things banned by authoritarian regimes? In this hands-on workshop, Emanuele Del Rosso and Tjeerd Royaards explore what gives cartoons their force — and why a few lines on paper can unsettle power.

🎙️ Emanuele Del Rosso (@emadelrosso.bsky.social) — award-winning cartoonist and head of the European Cartoon Award

Tjeerd Royaards (@tjeerdroyaards.com) — award-winning Dutch editorial cartoonist and editor-in-chief of Cartoon Movement

Photo showing newspaper De Morgen with my cartoon in print.

Cartoon showing a red line on the ground. On one side, buildings are in flames, on the other side, men in women in suits labeled 'international community' stand around with their hands in their pockets, as two more missiles fly across the red line towards the ruined buildings. Lady Justice points angrily to a sign that reads 'Red line: no war crimes'. A little further along the red line, a stream of refugees escaping the war zone is stopped by a police man who points to a sign that reads 'Red line" no refugees'.

I’m in Belgium on a work-related trip; first time I had the chance to pick up a printed copy of Belgian newspaper @demorgen.be since I started working for them.

I know print is dying, but seeing your cartoons in ink on actual paper is still something special :)

Cartoon showing the earth sitting in a restaurant, angrily pointing at the menu that is posted on the wall while banging his fist on the table. Half of the earth's head is covered in pipes, smoking chimneys and highways. The menu on the wall reads: 'Oil you can eat buffet - currently unavailable' with a picture of a large bowl filled with oil and oil drums. A nervous waiter points at the 'Sustainable menu' that shows small plates with a wind turbine and solar panels lying on a bed of green.

The oil-you-can-eat buffet is currently unavailable. Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl.

Cartoon showing the head of Netanyahu with his brain exposed. Instead of a normal brain, we see a giant soldier crouching in Netanyahu’s cranial cavity, with the words ‘Total victory’, written on his helmet. Below the soldier are much smaller Palestinian victims, being crushed, with the words ‘compassion’, ‘humanity’ and ‘proportionality’ written on them.

Inside Netanyahu's head. Cartoon from 2024.

Cartoon showing a person with a head shaped like the planet earth lying dead on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth. In his hand, he is grasping an open bottle of pills with a skull on the label. The pills are shaped like missiles and are scattered on the floor.

Overdose. Cartoon from last year. It's a sad fact that any cartoon about war, death and destruction can be used again and again and again...

Cartoon waarop een poort te zien, geflankeerd door twee grote rode potloden. Boven de poort staat het woord 'Democratie' en hangt een spandoek met de tekst 'Kom stemmen'. Er hangen ballonnen, obers staan klaar met dienbladen met drankjes en hapjes, en een clown is aan het jongleren. Op een rode loper staat 'Welkom' en op andere borden staat 'Hapje + drankje + gratis massage' en 'Live muziek'. Op straat lopen mensen ongeïnteresseerd voorbij, met koptelefoons op of starend naar hun telefoon. In een ruimte naast de poort zien we door het raam mensen achter computers zitten. De computerschermen laten een opkomstpercentage van 53,7% zien en een dalende grafiek met de tekst 'Vertrouwen in de politiek' erboven.

Opkomstpercentage. Cartoon voor @trouw.nl: www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tje...

Cartoon waarop een reclamebord met een verkiezingsposter van de FvD, een straat en water ernaast te zien is. De paal van het bord wordt onder de grond de antenne van een gigantische lantaarnhengelvis met grote, scherpe tanden en schubben in de vorm van swastikas. Een boze, witte man loopt langs het bord richting het stembureau terwijl een jonge moslima vanaf de ander kant van de straat toekijkt. Een kind kijkt vanaf een steiger angstig in het water omdat hij de vis ziet.

Ook deze verkiezingen ligt fascisme weer op de loer.

Cartoon showing two military groups fighting, while their brains climb out of the top of their heads and walk off carrying backpacks and suitcases, as if they were refugees of war.

Cartoon showing a daycare with a name sign that reads, in colorful letters: 'In good hands' next to two bloody hand prints. The earth is depicted as a crying child that is reaching out to his father, a man with a briefcase in a suit, who has just dropped him off, while being held by Donald Trump. Through the window, we see the other people staffing the daycare: Netanyahu, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un and Putin. We also see a bed with restraints and a toy box filled with a nuclear missile, a bone saw, a pair of pliers and other torture equipment.

Would you leave your child with these men? Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl.
