Maptoons
Pecay over at BibliOdessy has collected a few examples of satirical maps from the first World War. They function as political cartoons diagramming both geographic conditions and sentiment regarding various regions. You don’t see many such maps produced anymore but their charm is undeniable as they anthropomorphise various countries giving them personality and character, illustrating how they all interact.

Hi, I'm Raj Patel. Nice to meet you. I'm a writer, photographer, film producer, avid reader, gamer, architect, programmer, artist, community manager, and general nerd.
Here at Ohmpage I try to cover the news and trends at the intersection between technology and culture. In practice this means you get a lot of high-tech, new-media, type of fun stuff (the stuff that interests me) presented to you. I surf hard so you don't have to.
If you would like to contact me, please feel free to email me or follow me on twitter. I'm always happy to talk.
