The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists Endorses Originality

A Statement by the Board of the AAEC: The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists Endorses Originality.
Passing someone else’s work off as your own is not tolerated in written reporting,
and it should not be tolerated in political cartooning. Indeed, it is not tolerated
within the membership of our association. Further, reselling old cartoons with only
a few labels changed is just plain bad for both the art form and for business.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the AAEC is to champion and defend editorial cartooning and free speech as essential to liberty in the United States and throughout the world.

The AAEC aims to be an international leader in support of the human, civil, and artistic rights of editorial cartoonists around the world, and to stand with other international groups in support of the profession.
