In the era of Big-Tech internet censorship, Minds stands out as a major social media platform that respects freedom of speech. For this reason alone, legions of users from all around the world have migrated over to this site. If freedom of expression is the reason why people have come, then Original Creative Content is the reason why they stay.
I want Minds to be the place to be if you're looking to discover cool new artists, musicians, film-makers, authors, etc. Let us transform Minds into the cultural MECCA of the internet by supporting original content creators who have a platform on Minds.
Promoting Original Content (POC) is an ongoing series where I promote original content creators on Minds. To check out my POC issues for authors and musicians, click on these links:
For this issue of POC, my focus is on cartoonists. These are just some of the cool cats that I've discovered here on Minds. Many thanks to @RealMindsChan (AKA Phoebe Aurum) for helping me discover such talented artists. It was a really fun and engaging journey to visit each of the channels you suggested. To everyone else, please head over to these channels and like, remind, comment, and subscribe!

@TheJolle has some political content on his channel. The story related issues of his comics are highly entertaining (it reminds me of mass effect). Check out his channel here:

I really dig @XerxJamesH's comic series. If high fantasy is your things, this is the channel for you. He's obviously very dedicated to the lore and fleshing out of the story world. Good job! Check out his channel here:

A recent discovery of mine, @kranky draws topical, wry political cartoons about local and national events. If you're looking for a good chuckle, head on over to his channel and show him some support!
And lastly there is @ShamelessSteve. I find his comics charming and I like his little character and his adventures. Great work! Please head over to his channel and check out this sample of his work:
