Jakob Martin Strid

Jakob Martin Strid is a Danish cartoonist, who is known throughout Denmark for his successful series ''Strid'' in the Danish newspaper ''Politiken''.

Before his mainstream success he drew for the socialist paper ''Socialisten''; both runs consisted mostly of satire on political events. He is decidedly on the political left, but every public figure is a target. His ''Strid'' series in ''Politiken'' featured (mostly) the artist himself (as his sobriquet ''Strid'') drawing, inviting guests and wandering off into intentionally far-fetched plots. There was much controversy around the strip when it ran in ''Politiken'' as he expressed sympathy with the Rote Armee Fraktion.

In 2012, Strid received the Danish Crown Prince Couple's Culture Prize. Provided by Wikipedia
