Satiric Cartoons
Exaggeration
This cartoon exaggerates the right to bear arms because the owner of the truck has possession of a missile/nuclear weapon.
Parody
This cartoon illustrates a parody of Wheaties that has been changed to Cheaties with Alex Rodriguez showcased on the front of the box. Also, the slogan is changed to "The Breakfast of Cheaters". This is a parody because Wheaties is known as "The Breakfast of Champions" and because A-Rod was busted for steroid use.
Incongruity
This cartoon illustrates incongruity because a McDonald's sign being erected at Iwo Jima during WWII would be very out of place.
