One year ago, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, eventually leaking two-and-a-half million gallons of oil a day into the surrounding waters. More than 200 million gallons were leaked into the Gulf before it was all said and done.

Take a look back at the best cartoons drawn about the disaster in the gulf with our BP Oil Spill – One Year Later cartoon collection.
