- Kari_Suomalainen abstract "Kari Yrjänä Suomalainen (October 15, 1920, Helsinki - August 10, 1999) was Finland's most famous political cartoonist. His first cartoon appeared in the start of the year 1950, showing an infant boy (the symbol of the New Year) contemplating two toys: a tank and a dove carrying an olive branch. The boy is saying: "Tank... or dove? I want them both!"Suomalainen started drawing daily political cartoons in Helsingin Sanomat in the year 1951, during Juho Kusti Paasikivi's presidency. His cartoons soon became popular throughout the nation. While most of them comment on current politics, some are based on every-day life.One of Suomalainen's most favourite characters was Urho Kekkonen, whom he drew as a bald man with an angular chin and huge eyeglasses. When Kekkonen became president in 1956, Suomalainen stopped, for a while, using the character, due to an "unwritten law" forbidding caricaturing the president. Suomalainen published a cartoon of himself weeping at Kekkonen's portrait, saying he "felt like a man who has just lost a gold mine". Later, Suomalainen continued using the Kekkonen character.Other famous Suomalainen characters include president Mauno Koivisto (a man with thick eyebrows and a strand of hair pointing upwards), prime minister Kalevi Sorsa (a cross between a man and a duck - in Finnish, "sorsa" means "duck") and the artist himself (a short, rotund man with long, black hair and a mushroom-shaped hat).Suomalainen was known of his political cartoons and he often drew his characters by political party category. They were: A fat priest with a military helmet on his head represented the National Coalition Party. The helmet was removed in the 1990s and replaced with a top hat. A skinny worker dressed in an overall represented the Social Democratic Party of Finland. A fat, red-nosed yokel with stubble in ragged clothes and a scarf around the neck represented the Communist Party of Finland. A fat landlord/farmer represented the Agrarian Union and when it changed its name to Centre Party, he drew the character with collared shirt, tie and a fedora hat. Small parties were drawn with short and skinny characters. The People's Party (liberals) were drawn with a ridiculously exaggerated white collar. The Swedish People's Party was a small snob with a moustache, in a suit and with a bowler hat. Veikko Vennamo himself often represented his own party, as did Emil Skog and Aarre Simonen.Initially they were drawn with realistic proportions, but then they became exaggerated into cartoonish proportions. He also used the same motifs to draw a variety of characters; for example, the skinny guy and the fat guy in the city.A top hat over a character used to refer to the incumbent cabinet and ministers.Suomalainen received many awards for his work, including the National Cartoonist Society (USA) award in 1959, Puupäähattu in 1984 and Pro Finlandia in 1989. He was also appointed honorary professor in 1977 by president Kekkonen.Suomalainen stopped making daily cartoons in 1991, after Helsingin Sanomat refused to publish his cartoon criticizing immigration, but kept on drawing even after that.A film, "Kari ja hänen 9 presidenttiään" was made by documentary filmmaker Juho Gartz in 1994.Suomalainen died in 1999 at the age of 78.".
