EDITORS COMMENTS
In this cartoon by Benjamin Rabier, we are introduced to a peculiar character - the Serpent Journalist. Employed by a press boss for his exceptional venom, this caricature highlights the cunning and ruthless nature often associated with journalism. Rabier's artistry shines through in his depiction of the serpent, its sinuous body coiled around a desk as it wields a pen with precision. The snake's piercing gaze and sly smile reveal its mastery over words, ready to strike fear into the hearts of those who dare cross its path. The satirical nature of this drawing is evident as Rabier cleverly portrays the journalist as both an animal and a professional. By merging these two worlds, he comments on the predatory instincts that can sometimes be found within newsrooms. Amidst all this symbolism lies another intriguing element - a duckling perched on top of the serpent's head. This juxtaposition between predator and prey adds depth to Rabier's message, suggesting that even in journalism where power dynamics may seem clear-cut, unexpected alliances can form. Overall, Rabier's artwork serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the world of media and its complex dynamics. Through his skillful use of color and detail, he invites viewers to reflect on how journalists navigate their profession while questioning whether excellence should always come at such high costs.
