Cartoonists have been satirizing the issue of gentrification for almost a century. Witness the evolution of gentrification political cartoons in an article by The Guardian.
Emmanuella Kwenortey dug into the archives for a history of political cartoons focusing on the issue of gentrification.
The post, sub-titled "How an academic argument became the people's protest," opens with a cartoon from 1921 of an artist being forced out of a 'studio for rent' by some fancy looking old timers. Point made: people have been fretting about the effects of gentrification—at whatever point in the process—for a long time.
The post features some famous contributors, such as Garry Trudeau and Bill Bramhall, while staying remarkably consistent in its trope: start with grit, bring in artists, and watch the gentry follow.
