Some of the main trends, taxonomies, and approaches to date in political cartoon research are shown, and some of the weaknesses and strengths in the present field as well as aspects that are underdeveloped or have yet to be explored are highlighted. The articles in English published between 2017 and 2022 were reviewed to provide an understanding of the current state of the matter in various areas. The corpus was gathered by searching publications in international database Scopus. Each paper was classified based on its publication date, place of origin, subject of research, and frequency of citations. The quantitative approach employed enables the tracking of advancement in the field of cartoon studies over a given timeframe. Six distinct aspects pertinent to research in the field of political cartoons are suggested in a holistic approach, although this categorization is by no means all-inclusive and there is substantial overlap. The study of political cartoons during chosen period was more comprehensive and extensive than the study of editorial cartoons. Several proposals for further research in this field were put forward.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Рассматривается академическая литература прошлого и настоящего по изучению карикатур (прежде всего, редакционных и политических), отражающая функциональный кризис жанра, связанный с развитием медиапространства и новыми вызовами. Показаны некоторые из основных тенденций, таксономий и подходов к исследованию политической карикатуры на сегодняшний день. Выделены слабые и сильные стороны в данной области, а также аспекты, которые недостаточно развиты или еще предстоит изучить. Проанализированы статьи на английском языке, опубликованные в период с 2017 по 2022 год, чтобы дать представление о текущем состоянии вопроса в различных областях. Корпус собран путем поиска публикаций в международной базе данных Scopus. Каждая статья классифицирована на основе даты публикации, места происхождения, предмета исследования и частоты цитирования. Используемый количественный подход позволил отследить прогресс в области изучения карикатуры за определенный период времени. Шесть различных аспектов, имеющих отношение к исследованиям в области политических карикатур, предлагаются в рамках целостного подхода, хотя эта классификация не является всеобъемлющей и имеет существенное дублирование. Обнаружено, что изучение политических карикатур за исследуемый период было более обширным, чем редакционных. Обозначены перспективы дальнейших исследований в этой области.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>editorial cartoons</kwd><kwd>caricature</kwd><kwd>mass communications</kwd><kwd>journalism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>редакционные карикатуры</kwd><kwd>массовые коммуникации</kwd><kwd>журналистика</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Chen, K-W., Phiddian, R., &amp; Stewart, R.
