New Yorker cartoons are not political cartoons. They are general humour, albeit of a sort that might strike most readers as highbrow.
Do you have examples of these sorts of cartoons? I've never seen one so I can't imagine what they're like.
So here's an example of a Steve Bell editorial cartoon. He's a leftwinger, in the fairly angry and vicious tradition of British satire, but this is a fairly restrained one:

It's a comment on the pageantry around the 75th anniversary of D-Day, and directly refers to a famous cartoon from WW2, which was published on VE Day by the (also socialist) cartoonist Philip Zec:

The whole genre isn't self-referential, but it's not unusual for leader cartoons to refer to other cartoons, famous paintings, television, or other things.
