00:00Y... ¡Action!

00:20¿Es Pat Oliphant realmente un peligro al sistema de política de los políticos de los Estados Unidos?

00:24Los cartoons de irreverente pokedan a la estabilidad y a la credibilidad de los líderes de los Estados Unidos.

00:29Y, you know, you could get thrown in jail from doing this stuff.

00:32Si Pat Oliphant couldn't draw, he'd be an assassin.

00:37The most famous political cartoonist in the world.

00:41You haven't really made it in Washington until Pat Oliphant has made fun of you.

00:47He saw his father drawing and wanted to try his own hand at it, and quickly it became a passion for him.

00:53America called to him because that's where the art was happening.

00:57American cartooning had been looked down upon.

01:00It seemed that the art had run down and it just wasn't doing its job anymore.

01:04So I felt that perhaps I could inject something new into it.

01:07With his satire and spiky caricatures, he helped create a whole new style of cartooning.

01:12You shouldn't think of the cartoon as a funny drawing.

01:15It's supposed to be a serious expression of political thought.

01:20He said, you're gonna wake up every morning angry.

01:24Make people write to the editor, get mad, get mad as you are.

01:28I remember him getting death threats.

01:31You son of a bitch, why don't you go back where you came from?

01:33He just didn't care what the political establishment wanted.

01:37Our country was born from political protest.

01:40Yet the financial picture of the media is making it harder and harder for that to happen.

01:44When the president of the United States every day does something that is newly offensive and an affront to democracy and civil liberties,

01:53for a cartoonist not to be doing that work is absolutely insane.

01:57Pat uniquely showed courage to go after folks that were beyond reproach or too dangerous to touch.

02:06Did you see your work affect public opinion?

02:11That's a good question, isn't it?
