2023 as seen by press cartoonists

As 2024 gets underway, it's time to take one last look back at the past year. As we do every year, Voxeurop's editorial team brings you its selection of the best press cartoons of a never less than eventful 2023.

Published on 31 December 2023

It has become an annual tradition at Voxeurop to look back at the most striking press cartoons of the past year - in terms of style, relevance or humor - and present our selection to readers.

The news cycle of 2022 was said to have been frenetic. That of 2023 managed to be just as frenetic, marked as it was by conflicts in Ukraine, Nagorno-Karabakh and between Israel and Hamas. For Voxeurop too, the year was full of upheavals: our partnership with Display Europe, the start of our press reviews, our investigation into the automobile lobby, our massive fund-raising campaign…

To look back at 2023, we've chosen our editors' fifteen favorite press cartoons. Fifteen cartoons and fifteen events to sum up just twelve months of news - that's how fast-paced 2023 has been.
