Genre	Editorial cartoon

Cox & Forkum is the name of an editorial cartoon drawn by John Cox and written by Allen Forkum. The comic exists primarily on the web (as a webcomic) but has also been published in newspapers, magazines, and three self-published compliations.

Cox and Forkum are self-proclaimed Objectivists, and this is generally the perspective from which the cartoons are created. Although their message may often seem to be generally conservative, the cartoons will also criticize American conservatives on matters where Objectivists and Republicans traditionally disagree, such as on religion, abortion, immigration and government regulation of business.

In general, the comics are known for focusing heavily on the War on Terror, attacking fundamentalist Islam and the religious right, and defending Israel.

The comics are published in blog format, alongside the occasional stand-alone "newsmaker caricature."

Cox and Forkum were featured in the Day by Day webcomic for December 10 and 11, 2005.
