Ivar Starkenberg is regarded as 'one of Sweden's wittiest and most Incisive political cartoonists' (The American-Scandinavian Review). He is considered to be 'the grand old man of Swedish social artistry movement'. His drawings appeared regularly in Morgon-Tidningen and in number of chief Labor periodicals. 'For a generation he has been fighting with his pencil for the democratic labor movement. He got his start in a small comic paper with a strong pacifists and anti-religious tendency.' [From an obituary]
