    CARTOON
    Cartoons can be very diverse, but there is a certain

    established style among most of them. Most are
    visual metaphors and caricatures to address
    complicated political situations, and thus sum up a
    current event with a humorous or emotional
    picture. Often, their content includes, biased and
    opinionated portrayals of people and events.

    INTRODUCTION
    Newspaper editorial cartoons are graphic
    expressions of their creator’s ideas and
    opinions. In addition, the editorial cartoon

    make readers think about current
    political issues.

    Good editorial cartoon
    expresses the cartoonist’s
    opinion on a topic and provoke
    readers to think and clarify their
    own opinions

    important than drawing skills
    in creating a good cartoon.
    ESSENTIALS OF A GOOD
    EDITORIAL CARTOON
    A good cartoon is always
    simple and limited.
    ESSENTIALS OF A GOOD
    EDITORIAL CARTOON
    Drawings should be
    uncluttered. Heavy, cleaner lines
    are better for the newspaper
    than many light lines.
    ESSENTIALS OF A GOOD
    EDITORIAL CARTOON
    Any words used, ( captions,
    dialogue balloons, or words that
    are part of the drawing itself)
    should be large, clear and easily
    recognized.
    ESSENTIALS OF A GOOD
    EDITORIAL CARTOON
    Don’t be too much of a
    perfectionist. If your cartoon is
    clever and gets across your
    opinion, you’ve done a good job.
    SYMBOLS
    These are pictures that
    represent something else by
    tradition. A dove is a symbol
    for peace.
    CARICATURES
     are drawings of public figures in
    which certain physical features
    are exaggerated. Caricatures of
    Richard M. Nixon often show
    him as needing to shave.
    STEREOTYPES
    Are formulaic images used to represent
    particular groups. A stereotypical
    cartoon mother might have messy hair,
    wearing an apron, and holding a
    screaming baby in her arms.
    ANALOGIES
    Are comparisons that suggest that
    one thing is similar to something
    else. The title of a popular song or
    film might be used by a cartoonist to
    comment on a current political event.

    Is the power to evoke laughter
    or to express what is amusing,
    comical, or absurd.
