About
Our Mission
The Geopolittoon is a publication that pairs an original political cartoon with a written geopolitical analysis for each story it covers.
International relations are absurdly complex, and sometimes the only way to understand them is through shapes and satire. We strip away the rhetoric and the noise, leaving only the geometric truth of power dynamics. Whether it's the fragile triangle of superpowers or the circular logic of trade wars, we draw it out, literally.
