For over 65 years, the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists has been a network of professional cartoonists concerned with promoting the interests of staff, freelance and student editorial cartoonists in North America, including political illustrators and the growing field of comics journalists.

We seek to provide a common meeting ground for cartoonists of all political persuasions to exchange views, meet socially, and showcase creative and technological innovation, on all platforms, from print to digital.
