Jim Carrey says his cartoons ridiculing the Trump administration are a civilised response to what he calls an unfolding "nightmare".
The actor told a TV critics' meeting on Monday that his sketches may veer into crassness but are a creative way to express his political opposition.
His new series Kidding, about a children's TV host hit by a family tragedy, is due to debut on US television network Showtime on September 9.
Those who have been given the Carrey cartoon treatment include President Donald Trump and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Carrey's sketch of Sanders was blasted as sexist and bigoted by her father, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee.
Some critics called it ugly, but Carrey says he did not use the word and drew Sanders' essence.
