Why is there an elephant?
Why is only one them getting arrested?
Why does he think that they are heroes?
Why are they both overweight?
What does this cartoon mean?
First, you look over the cartoon slowly or as they call it, float over it. Then you find its primary focus. Next you determine who the audience is. Then you need to understand the context of the cartoon. You then look for a major symbols that stick out or could be useful. Finally, you look for minor details that may have a certain meaning.
They use symbolism to stand for larger things.
The exaggerate things to make a point stick out more.
They use labels to make things more clear in what it might be.
They use analogy to compare things so the audience can see differences.
They use irony to express their opinion on the issue.
