๐ Political cartoonist and satirist Nick Bougas has died at the age of 71.
He was best known for his "racist, antisemitic, antifeminist, and homophobic cartoons."
One image in particular, an cartoon of a Jewish man known as the โHappy Merchant,โ became one of the most recognizable and widely circulated memes on the internet.
More broadly, Bougasโs cartoons circulated extensively across online subcultures throughout the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, first in the American online sphere and later across European and global internet communities. They became recurring material in trolling culture, imageboards such as 4chan, and far-right networks around the world.
