Editorial Cartoon: Kevin Gochee

Withdrawal of Soldiers From Syria 

By Kevin Gochee




I composed this cartoon to illustrate the indecency displayed by President Trump when he withdrew U.S forces from Syria. I hope this cartoon helps to educate about Trump’s mistreatment of allies, specifically the abandonment of our Kurdish allies.


When I was writing this cartoon, I was not sure how to frame my idea. I decided to make it clear and simple. A cartoon version of Trump happily leaving his confused allies illustrates what I envisioned when I read about this event in the news.


Drawing an editorial cartoon is not easy. Lost of thought is required to create a concise cartoon that packs a lot of meaning. I don’t think I achieved a solid cartoon, but I can understand the process and respect other cartoonists that do this as a profession.

I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice. Between the incredible professors, facilities and some of the brightest students in the nation, I knew that I would be lucky to join them.” The only ...

By Faith Pauken, www.cardinaltimes.org staff member All photos by Faith Pauken Photojournalism is a form of journalism that provides images to aid in the telling of a story or news. Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article. By giving the reader a visual, they’re able to imagine what the event looked like, whether that’s showing what 100,000 people look like during a protest, or the face of an artist. During my journey through photography over the last year, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on what makes a good photo, how to track people down and how to manage unexpected obstacles. Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job ...
