Aren't political cartoons supposed to have some germ of truth in them to be funny?
If you go back to the 19th century the political cartoons were viscous but they were witty and thought provoking. Calling someone fat, stupid or mean is not witty.
I haven't seen a political cartoon in a daily in 40 years that I thought even mildly amusing ... left or right.
I do recall one cartoon in a college newspaper. I was visiting the U. of Ky. It was back in the late 70s. They had a 10-12 panel cartoon depicting a political campaign between God and Satan. The office? Ruler of everything. The debate between God and Satan was amazing stuff. I have tried to find it on the internet but cannot.

I haven't subscribed to a newspaper in over twenty years. But it seems there used to be some sort of relevancy to most cartoons.
Not like this one which is just juvenile in its irrelevance = nothing but viciousness = not funny = not persuasive.
