Synopsis: Patrick Oliphant was a giant slayer, bravely taking on presidents, popes and the American corporate class with his mighty pen. An Australian transplant, Oliphant became America’s most renowned and feared political cartoonist for five decades. With his biting wit and masterful drawing skills, Oliphant attacked individual and institutional corruption, collusion, greed, hypocrisy and arrogance, no matter the size or status of his targets.
