...Political cartoons usually demonstrate a powerful message within an illustration. Cartoonist demonstrate their point of view and usually target people to comprehend their point of view with a convincing argument, not many people had the education to read but many did have the ability to see and draw a conclusion based on a picture “I don’t care a straw for newspaper articled Tweed declared like constituents can reed but they can stop seeing them dam pictures. (Tweed, Min 5:30)”. Over the centuries these cartoons have helped expose corruption with a political system or simply reveal the true image of a politician and what his/her motives and ideals depict. One of the two biggest leaders that have been attacked by political cartoons are Boss Tweed to Theodore Roosevelt. Tweed was the first to be attacked by these cartoons by an artist named Thomas Nest and within his illustrations he mentions how Tweed took advantage of the system and grew in power by doing so “He was one of the first people who saw the power of man’s politics (Tweed, Min 0:46)”. As soon as he became a senator and sought this power he took advantage and defrauded New York by what is called the Tweed Ring a group of political leaders that worked...

...The selection of Lewis Cass indicated that many within the party had not entirely agreed with President Polk or Congressmen Wilmot towards the direction the party needed to lead into for the country. In the political cartoon of the “Democratic Funeral of 1848” Lewis Cass was displayed as a gas balloon , so that viewers may understand how he was inflated , or deceived, to believe that his roll had any particular importance; He was dull and only desired by the Southern Democratic members [6]. Polk is seen dead in the portrayal of this cartoon, over a stretcher with a devils tail, as many considered his term to be what set the division in the Party. Northerners had already divided on many of Polk’s economic decisions, such as “The Oregon Compromise” of 1846 (which let the English own large portions of Oregon’s territories), along with accepting the reduction of tariffs and neglecting federal aid to funding northern transportation [7]. The political cartoon by Peter E. Abel and E.F. Durang “The Democratic Funeral” speaks on the economic status of this time period, as the artists display an empty treasury box by Polk’s stretcher, indicating the constant indifferences and collapses brought form his presidency. The treaty in Oregon influenced the Northerners too spitefully than challenge the Southerners booming economy in...

...A nation of silence: The censoring of Political Cartoons Just like Adolf Hitler said in Mein Kampf, “Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and the other way around to consider the most wretched sort of life.” (Whitehead 221) This is held to be true with political cartoons because the purpose of political cartoons is to provide people with and insight and to try and sway the reader of the cartoon to change his or her opinion. The censorship of political cartoons would not be a smart move because cartoonists who offend others are doing so while exercising the 1st amendment and censoring political cartoons lessens the cartoonist’s power to sway or stimulate someone’s opinions. If censorship...

...The point of view that is expressed in this political cartoon is that violent, young offenders are being let off with very little punishment. This cartoon is by Malcolm Mayes and was drawn on November 22, 2006. It appeared in the Artizans magazine with the image number of MAY1757. The author was trying to portray that even if the young offender committed a serious crime, the consequences for that crime were not very harsh, and the offenders were being let off too easily. The words “Violent Youth” are inscribed into the shirt that the offender is wearing, and it shows that the offender is a violent youth. The skull and bones on the shirt means that the person is toxic and dangerous, and is exaggerated to show that they might have committed a...

...Political Cartoon Essay The political cartoon is in reference to Iran’s nuclear program, which has been a major issue and is one of the world’s most volatile regions. According to Iran’s leadership, its goal in developing a nuclear program is to generate electricity in order to provide fuel for medical reactors. Iran and the United States have been at odds over its nuclear program for years and this issue has picked up since November 2011. Its been known, that Americans are concerned because Israel has been pushing the U.S. to take military action to damage Iran’s program before it reaches the point where they will have capability to make an atomic bomb. For the most part, going to war with Iran will be more expensive than us going to with Iraq and Afghanistan. Personally, I would not want our military to go to war again after we have been in war with Iraq for a very long time. Therefore, when analyzing the picture it looks like mothers of current soldiers and veterans would be against going to war with Iran, what outcomes may occur if we do go to war, and want can our government do differently with this situation. For one thing, the cartoon sketch is describing international relations policy with Iran. According to a report from February 2010, the United Nations states that Iran’s military was or is trying to develop a nuclear warhead and some believed that this activity has been going on before 2004. For instance, in August 2005, Mr. Ahmadinejad...

...Abstract This is a rhetorical analysis paper on a political cartoon called “Four more years …of Gridlock” drawn by Patrick Chappette for the “International Herald Tribune.” It depicts both the reaction of the re-election of President Obama, as well as the realistic reaction of the G.O.P. on their stance of congress still being at a political gridlock. There has been much conversation in the political world if progress can truly be made in Congress between the Democratic Party and the G.O.P. or the Republican Party. This paper breaks down both the Democratic and Republican side of the cartoon, than my opinion on the cartoon as a whole and what message the artist Chappette is trying to send to his audience.

...This political cartoon reflects the reality that many people are using opioids, a painkiller, in an improper way. The picture depicts a vial of Opioids containing the lives of so many people that are falling into the mouth of Death.This political cartoon sends us a message. The convenience and immediate effects of Opioids makes people keep using it without doctor's prescription. This causes dangerous side effects and even death for the users. Convenience is one of the reasons that many people use opioids. Not only me but everyone is living a busy life. A pain can affect the performance of a day. But going to see a doctor will take time and require many cumbersome procedures. So self-use of opioids is considered as a quick and handy solution....

...RUNNING HEAD: Political Cartoon 1 Political Cartoon Christine Livingston CJA 324 August 13, 2012 Lawrence Avallone POLITCAL CARTOON 2 [pic](“About.com”, 2008). Before the debates began, Cheney and Scalia recently were seen on a duck hunting trip in the same place at the same time. I would have to disagree that the 2 were actually hunting together. The picture suggests that the 2 were duck hunting together as friends. Scalia objected to several demands to not get involved in a case in which Vice President Dick Cheney was involved in. Scalia mocked criticism that suggested because the two were seen on a hunting trip Scalia would be biased toward Cheney which is supposedly his long time friend. “A rule that required members of this court to remove themselves from cases in which the official actions of friends were at issue would be utterly disabling,'' Justice Scalia wrote. During the hunting trip to Louisiana, which the memorandum said involved 13 hunters as well as Mr. Cheney's security detail, ``I never hunted in the same blind with the vice president,'' he said. POLITICAL CARTOON 3 “Nor was I alone with him at any time during the trip,'' he continued, “except, perhaps, for instances so brief and unintentional that I would not recall them walking to or from a boat, perhaps, or going to or from dinner. Of course we said not a word about...

...Who knew Arizona would discriminate against tanned people? A political cartoon titled “Anglozana Illegal Tan Block” was illustrated by Matson of St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In this composition the center is dominated by a “Tan Block” tube, standing on its lid. To the top left of the tube “What good is it being American…” is typed in all black bolded lettering. Continuing the sentence “if you don’t LOOK legal?” is in the bottom right corner of the composition, with the word “LOOK” in all capital letters. The background is a solid white to help emphasize all the other elements in the cartoon. Focusing back onto the “Tan Block” tube, middle of the composition, the dominant colors of the tube are a burnt orange and red. Starting from the top, in all white capital letters, “ANGLOZONA” is written across the top of the tube. Below the white letters there is an image in a circle. In this image there is a green Saguaro cactus wearing lady liberty's crown. The green cactus is holding on one side a torch and the other a sign....

...As a child, I grew fond of watching television. I always had the channel set on cartoons, watching the colorful display of silly humor and adult jokes that went over my head. However, the younger me found one cartoon special. Three childhood friends in a slice-of-life show that would try their hardest to accommodate their desire for cheap candy. The show, named Ed, Edd, N’ Eddy was one of my favorite shows that still holds a place in my heart to this day. The cartoon revolves around three friends, aptly named Ed, Edd, and Eddy, who go around their neighborhood, named the Cul De Sac, and come up with wacky schemes to make enough money for their favorite treat, a jawbreaker. Each episode shows an idea crudely constructed with various materials,...

...Children from the now of days spend more time watching television than they do in the classroom. This can be helpful to children if it’s used as a learning tool, like channel 11, or Dora, Word World or other educational cartoons shows. The level of violence that they see on Cartoon Network is to violent and not educational or just plain fun entertainment like I use to watch. Morning programming is about 20 to 25 violent acts per hour. Are we just looking for ratings or popularity? At this rate, the average American child will see 8,000 murders before they finish elementary school! This has to stop our children will have no child hood not an innocent one. As a child sits in front of Television, with his or her eyes glued to the TV and not making a sound in being so in to a channel you have not selected, you may want to sit down and actually view what they watching. One day I sat with my children and let them navigate the channels and of course SpongeBob came on. At first it was ok then Patrick and SpongeBob began to curse but using words that grownups may use so children don’t know they are cursing, and my children began to laugh as if they knew what they were saying. I immediately got upset and changed the channel and banned it form in my house hold. We have to remember that the entertainment media plays an extremely powerful role in the formation of values and morals, to all youngsters' minds of all ages. These programs "play" with kids' minds; these programs have a tremendous...

...decided to experiment with pop art, a style of art that developed in England during the mid-1950s and produced realistic variations of well-known, everyday objects. He moved away from his technique of the blotted line and instead used canvas and paint. At first he had difficulty choosing what he was going to paint, but throughout the course of his pop art era he focused on four main subjects: product paintings, cartoon paintings, movie stars, and death. His first versions of pop art were called product paintings. These paintings showed popular consumer items that were familiar to the average American person, such as Brillo soap pads, Coca-Cola bottles, and the most famous of all, Campbell’s soup cans. He chose products such as these because they were top-selling products in the United States and they were considered important, useful, and economical by consumers. He drew his inspiration from the leftover Campbell’s soup cans and Coca-Cola bottles that he used at lunch. Andy Warhol’s second type of paintings was drawn from comic strips and comic books. Examples of these cartoon paintings include Dick Tracy (1961) and Superman (1960). Although he had begun to produce these before the product paintings, this phase lasted only a short period of time – once he discovered that Roy Lichtenstein was also painting characters from comic strips (seen in Castelli’s Gallery), he decided that he needed to find a different subject matter. After his attempts with American products and comic strips...
