Cartoon

In Michael Mays’ book Nation States: The Cultures of Irish Nationalism, he discussed a political cartoon by the editorial cartoonist David Horsey from 1991, which basically suggested that ‘the IRA’s raison d’etre rests solely in a mad campaign of vicious self -perpetuation: “I bomb, therefore I am”’ (Mays, 2007, p149). This cartoon proposed that the only reason the IRA could be as prominent and effective as they were, was their own awareness that the only way to be taken seriously would be…

humor in this cartoon is directed toward Donald Trump, scornfully making fun of the way he acts, and the childish way he talks about politics and other world problems. Donald Trump is known throughout America as a crazy rich man that is now running for president. In his campaign speeches, he has said preposterous things that have shocked many Americans. In this cartoon Donald Trump is the U.S. president and it’s making fun of how he would act if he were to be the president. The Cartoon takes the…

why do cartoons always fall into the category of ¨kids’ stuff¨? What could be the reasoning behind this stigma of being cheaply made and poorly written so that only a child could enjoy them? It is outrageous, really, because animation does not necessarily have to be treated that way. In fact, as of the last few decades, there has been a sort of renaissance with animation wherein cartoons are given higher budgets and better stories that could parallel even the best live-action media. Cartoons are…

January 11, 2016 from h http://www.cagle.com/tag/police-brutality/ This political cartoon shows a side by side comparison of the goal of some police officers verses all police officers. The illustrator Bob Englehart uses caricature to give the badges a more cartoon look while remaining identifiable. This helps the reader laugh a little bit at the comedic, cartoon looking badges and lighten the mood of the political cartoon. Under the “All Cops” caption, a badge states “To Serve and Protect”,…

Granlund drew a political cartoon depicting the ten-dollar bill, but with a woman as the face of it. In the image you can see that not only is the worth of women not even ten dollars, but that women are seen as second class citizens because of it. The tens that symbolize the bills worth have been crossed out and changed to eight. This signifies that women are worth less than men. Woman have accomplished many feats in the past and should be seen as equals. This political cartoon is very…

Language is a tool we use to create the life we desire. Living in the United States means having to speak English. Glenn Davis, in Speaking English Right, says “English speakers in the United States earn more money than non-English speakers.” As in today companies are looking for people with good social security numbers and as we know most Mexicans that weren’t born in the United States don’t have social security numbers. My aunt was born in Mexico in a small town call Ixcatiopan. Coming to…

genetically modified foods. What the artist is trying to tell the viewers is that Monsanto is killing the planet with all of its biochemical research and experiments. The element used in this cartoon is hyperbole because it is an exaggeration as to what the fist doing to Mother Nature. Symbolism is also used in this cartoon analysis, the big fist representing Monsanto and the woman representing Mother Nature. If more people saw this, and analyzed it, their minds would open up to what is really…
