R. Sikoryak

R. Sikoryak is a cartoonist. He’s the author of Masterpiece Comics, Terms and Conditions, and The Unquotable Trump. He adapts the classics for various anthologies, including The Graphic Canon, Fable Comics, and more. His comics and illustrations have appeared in many publications including The New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review, and The Nation, as well as on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. R. Sikoryak is the master of the pop culture pastiche. In Constitution Illustrated (Drawn and Quarterly) he focus on the very framework of the republic. By visually interpreting the complete text of the supreme law of the land with American pop culture icons, Sikoryak distills the very essence of the government legalese from the abstract to the tangible, the historical to the contemporary. The Eighteenth Amendment that instituted prohibition is articulated with Homer Simpson running from Chief Wiggum; the Fourteenth Amendment that solidifies citizenship to all people born and naturalized in the United States is personified by Ms. Marvel; and, of course, the Nineteenth Amendment offering women the right to vote is a glorious depiction of Wonder Woman. Publishers Weekly celebrated it: “This pastiche of comics and politics is a cleverly educational and irresistible way to engage with this foundational text.”
