Political Cartoonists’ Persuasive Techniques
• Political cartoonists use the following techniques to persuade you the reader:
• Symbolism—Cartoonists use simple objects, or symbols, to stand for lager concepts or ideas.
• Exaggeration—Sometimes cartoonists overdo, or exaggerate, the physical characteristics of people or things in order to make a point.
• Labeling—Cartoonists often label objects or people to make it clear exactly what they stand for.
• Analogy—An Analogy is a comparison between two unlike things. By comparing a complex issue or situation with a more familiar one, cartoonists can help their readers see it in a different light.
• Irony—Irony is the difference between the way things are and the way things should be, or the way things are expected to be. Cartoonist often use irony to express their opinion on an issue.

emotional response—laughter, smile, or anger.
• Editorial cartoons are meant to persuade the viewer to feel a certain way about an issue or event.
• Cartoons clearly express the artist’s opinion on a current issue or event.

techniques that the cartoonist used, ask your self these questions:
