Mijn top 10 van cartoons die ik gemaakt heb in 2025 over Nederlandse onderwerpen. Allen verschenen in @trouw.nl. Iets makkelijker kiezen dan mijn internationale top 10, omdat ik de neiging heb wat minder over Nederlandse onderwerpen te tekenen. 1 van 3. #top10 #BesteVan2025 #PolitiekeCartoons

New year, new digs. Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl. #Putin #Trump #HappyNewYear

It’s that time of the year again! Here is my personal top 10 of international cartoons (I’ll post a Dutch top 10 soon) I did in 2025. If you’d like to get my cartoons directly by email, you can subscribe to my newsletter: www.tjeerdroyaards.com #Top10 #BestOf2025 #politicalcartoons 1 of 3.

For @cartoonmovement.com I make a top 10 of the best cartoons each year. Not an easy task, given that 11,793 cartoons were submitted to the platform in 2025, but I think I've managed to create a nice overview: cartoonmovement.substack.com/p/the-best-c... #top10

This was a great week! Got to hang out with some great cartoonists, did a podcast (Ill share the link later today for Dutch speakers) and found out I've won the European Cartoon Awards 2025! #EuropeanCartoonAward

Cartoonist Tjeerd Royaards van #Trouw wint European Cartoon Award: www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tje... @tjeerdroyaards.com #EuropeanCartoonAward

Congratulations, @tjeerdroyaards.com, on winning the European Cartoon Award 2025. A powerful cartoon that lays bare how the 'red line' became nothing more than a blood trail drawn, crossed, and ignored by the international community in defense of Israeli impunity.

Met drie cartoonisten blik ik terug op 2025! @tjeerdroyaards.com Jip van den Toorn en Hajo de Reijger. Morgen in je podcastfeed, bij De cartooncrisis! @human.nl

Although I did not get to speak with students in Slovakia (you can read more about that here: cartoonmovement.substack.com/p/how-space-...), I did get to speak with a lot of young Dutch people recently about political cartoons. (Photos - except for the last one - Anne Reitsma Fotografie)

Black Friday. Cartoon for @trouw.nl #BlackFriday #consumerism #exploitation #sweatshops

Tomorrow is Black Friday. Here's the cartoon I did last year. I'll share a new one tomorrow (with a similar point, but a new visual :) #BlackFriday #climatecrisis #consumerism

I haven't found the time (yet) to do a Putin-Trump cartoon about the new 28-point peace plan for Ukraine, but I'm also having a hard time finding a new angle or joke to make about it. So here are some oldies.

For @cartoonmovement.com, I wrote an editorial about my trip to Slovakia, censorship by the Fico government (we weren't allowed to visit a high school to talk about cartoons with students) and the lack of diplomatic courage of the Dutch embassy: cartoonmovement.substack.com/p/how-space-...

Distracted. Cartoon for @trouw.nl: www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tje... #COP30 #climatecrisis #future #humanity

I spent a great week in Prešov in eastern Slovakia, to be a judge for a cartoon competition on AI and to attend the opening of the exhibition 'Vertigo' featuring some of my cartoons, as well as cartoons from Ukrainian and Slovakian cartoonists.

We are interviewing every member of the DELIAH team, to give you some more insight into who we are, why we research humour and what we think is funny. This time we talk to Marcos Engelken Jorge, a researcher at the University of the Basque Country: deliaheu.substack.com/p/research-s... #DELIAH

A very early morning as I’m heading to Prešov in Slovakia to take part in a jury for a cartoon competition and for the opening of a joint cartoon exhibition of Ukrainian, Slovakian and Dutch cartoonists.

For @cartoonmovement.com, I wrote an editorial about the winning cartoon at the World Press Cartoon and other cartoons with very similar concepts, asking the question: should a prize-winning cartoon be 100% unique? cartoonmovement.substack.com/p/should-a-p... #awards #WorldPressCartoon

Another super-hurricane is about to hit the Philippines. I've been doing one hurricane cartoon almost every year and the point of all of them is basically the same. These are from 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2019. #climatecrisis #hurricane #extremeweather
