History has always been recorded through time in multiple ways like video, songs, writing and through art. Of the many forms of art used to capture situations, cartoons have become a popular type in the most current time. Cartoons have been used since the 1700s to depict different situations in seriousness or humor. Cartoons appear in the form of movies and television shows to bring smiles to its viewers and even in the form of comics to bring out the adolescence in any person. They have been…
In Western society, cartoons are found everywhere. The appear on television, in magazines, in newspapers, and in their own novels. It is not a surprise then to think that these cartoons have a great influence in our cultures: both positive and negative. However, looking at all these different types of cartoons would take ages to decipher to find their pros and cons. To narrow the focus, I have chosen to focus on adult and children’s cartoons in film/television. Specifically, Family Guy for the…
In Diary of a Part-Time Indian the main character, Arnold uses drawn cartoons to express his view of the world. In a way, it is how Arnold best speaks to the world. He draws cartoons not only for fun, but also to let his voice be heard. Cartoons allow him to tell the world his hopes and dreams as well as his fears and things he hates. The two most pertinent examples of this in my opinion, come in the form of the cartoons Arnold draws when he starts with Reardan, and the almost sacrilegious comic…
editorial cartoons is politics in America, and problems surrounding said politics. Summers uses multiple different techniques to get the point across to the viewer of his cartoons. Color is one of the biggest, color sets the tone and mood for the entire cartoon whether that may be bright or dark.

Summers…

Optimism Brought on by Cartoons As a little girl I remember sitting in front of the television watching cartoons. Cartoons, a place where anything was possible, even a flying school bus. Growing up my memories add my sister sitting there next to me, the screen showing talking ponies instead of the old school bus. Even as the cartoon changed, it still had its own message to present, whether it be about the solar system or the magic behind friendship. In Nick Flynn’s lyric poem “Cartoon Physics,…
Widely considered to be America’s first political cartoon, “Join, or Die” was created as an influence to colonial citizens during the French and Indian War. Benjamin Franklin, the creator of “Join, or Die”, featured his cartoon on May 9, 1754 in the Pennsylvania Gazette newspaper. Franklin’s cartoon proved to be rhetorically effective by his usage of symbolism, application to all three points on the rhetorical triangle, and his appeal to ethos, logos, and pathos. During Franklin’s era, there…

Yet, both topics are discussed by displaying criticism that natural disasters are frequently disregarded until one’s career is at stake and even then,…
