Summary/Abstract: The conflict between Yugoslavia and Cominform was one of the most important moments in Yugoslav history and as such was extensively covered in Yugoslav media, especially in the press which at time was the most widespread medium. The great involvement of the press on the Yugoslav side was in part the answer to the big anti-Yugoslavian media propaganda in the Cominform media. As an integral part of the print media, cartoon was also used in media showdown because of its ability to summarize certain issues in very simple and striking way. Based on the amount of published cartoons one can follow the course of the conflict, phases of greater and smaller tensions and the very essence of the issue.
