Jonathan Borthwick, a British-born cartoonist residing in Houston, Texas, is entirely self-taught. His cartoons primarily delve into the political and social dynamics of the United States in recent years. They strive to encapsulate a culture that feels foreign to him, employing a satirical style reminiscent of the popular UK cartoons of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.
