a brief history
qualities of political cartoons
Symbolism: cartoons include simple objects, or symbols, to stand for larger concepts or ideas.
Exaggeration: Sometimes they exaggerate the characteristics of people or things in order to make a point.
Labeling: Cartoons label objects or people to make it clear exactly what they stand for.
Analogy: An analogy is a comparison between two things that share some characteristics. By comparing a complicated situation with a simpler one, it can help the reader see it in a different light.
Irony: Irony is the difference between the ways things are and the way things are expected to be. Cartoons use irony to express their opinion on an issue.
