Abstract

North Korean satirical cartoons in the 1950s were influenced by the Soviet ‘Grotesque caricature.’ It was political and artistic. Grotesque was an effective ideological tool to accuse the public of the denial of imperialism, bureaucracy, and capitalism that hindered socialist utopia and awaken them as the right communists by emphasizing politics and satire through exaggerations, distortions, and metaphors that violated realism. This acceptance of Grotesque aesthetics shows that North Korea enriched the diversity of cartoon forms and was not simply obsessed with realistic descriptions.
