This is a good editorial cartoon because it is simple but at the same time very symbolic. Although it could get more complicated than this, the cartoonist is being blunt with their message, "America died."
What you see in editorial cartoons are usually the artist (or the author or whatever) trying to make a joke of, or make fun of, or ridicule (humorously) something that is a big deal and supposed to be serious. They could be trying to make light of the situation, or usually it's them trying to say that something more needs to be done to take care of the situation they are ridiculing.
This editorial cartoon is about the oil spill in the gulf, it's supposed to be a post card maybe from someone on vacation there, because it's supposed to be a beautiful place, but it's now a wreckage and a huge mess because of the enormous amounts of oil that spilled into the water, contaminating it, because of BP oil company.
i found one that critizes people who smoke in front of their babies, and it says that the store owner cant sell poisen to the lady because of the lady but he can sell cigerattes.
This is a good editorial cartoon about gay marriage because it has now become legal for them to get married in California. It's symbolic & simple so it gets right to the point and it is easily understood.
I agree with Devin, cagle.com is a good site where MSNBC's Daryl Cagle is known for creating topic stirring cartoons. The essentials to a good cartoon is to make sure there are about current evets and that they are humorous. http://www.cagle.msnbc.com/news/HalloweenCostumes/2.asp
The tabacco industry has exshused all demegraghfic groups, such as children, and teenagers.So this cartoon is implying that they have to reach out to pets to continue to make money.
This editorial cartoon is about global warming. It shows polar bears in bikinis at the north pole sun bathing on lawn chairs, and in the background seals are playing beach volley ball. A couple people are watching the animals and find it hard to believe that global warming doesn't exist. This is a great example of an editorial cartoon. It is appealing to the viewer because it is so unusual. It is also catchy and clever, with a funny twist to it that amuzes the viewer.
http://cagle.msnbc.com/news/HalloweenCostumes/3.asp this editorial about how 401k is a scary costum, showes that it was funny, stuck on topic/ and it showed you the main points, and it also made you think
My actual cartoon that I found was about a scary halloween costume idea. You can go to my link to see it but it is a boy dressed up as a bomb that is slowly beginning to detonate and he is telling the person that he is a 401 K savings.
I think that this is a good editorial because it is humorous and it also talks about the main problem that we are having in this country, and i think this makes it effective because it effects everyone.
This editorial is aiming mostly at politics, and our country in general. It's making a statement about the people in office, and the citizens of our country. The people in office promise all these things, or say we can do all these things, (as you see the sign,"Yes We Can!") but then they usually dont happen, or they take a large span of time to be put into action. (as you see the sign "But We Probably Wont"). Our country is lazy, and people care about the most poitless, aimless things or situations, rather than whats going on inside and out of our country.
Editoral Cartoon are a interresting and sometimes humorous way to spread ideas to the public
This cartoon shows alot of people like Chicken especially KFC chicken (YUM!)and some people don't care about the poor chickens they slaughter. They wouldn't care that they would kill the last surviving chicken for their unstoppable force for KFC chicken
I agree with Marissa, editorial cartoons are supposed to be funny and they are usually focused on politics. Usually they are about controversies or other problems in the world.
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.offthewahl.com/editorialcartoons . this one is about global warming which is a topic still talked about a lot now and is still a major concern in todays society
My cartoon is about airport security. Its pretty funny and gets the point across about how airport security isn't as strong as it should be. I'd say that what makes a good editorial is a strong opinion. You have to be willing to break some hearts and step on some fingers to get the point across
http://cagle.msnbc.com/news/HalloweenEconomy10/1.asp I thought this was a good cartoon because it showed the problems that many Americans are facing and what is happening in our struggling nation. Some essentials to political cartoons are to portray an important event and to ridicule and make fun of it. Creators of these cartoons have to make the story seem lighter or gentler with humor, but what they have to get across is the actual problem going on.
Although editorials are funny, they have certain clues and hints snuck in that you need to look closely to understand or notice. Even though the articles are funny usually, they are about shedding light on a person, group, or scandal. In my opinion, the editorial cartoon is the best way to do so.
I found one about the Chinese man that won the Nobel Peace Prize while in jail. This works because it takes a controversial topic and pokes fun at it. I think something like this works because it makes fun of sensitive topics and you can get your point across at the same time.

ReplyDeleteI liked this cartoon because it really shows how Obama is when it comes to supporting one group or another. He doesn't make up his mind.
I agree with Marissa. Editorials are supposed to be funny. They are also usually controversal and are mostly about the people's views.

ReplyDeleteThe third cartoon on this page is very funny because it shows how bad the economy is.

I agree that cagle.com is the best for editorial cartoons.

ReplyDeletea good editotial should include a stance against something going on in the world that brings up two points.
All editorials that I have seen are either about something political or about the environment.
ReplyDeleteI agree with tyge with agreeing with veigas above statement.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Devin, Cagle.com is a very good website.
ReplyDeletethe halloween ones at cagle.com were funny too but they were kinda repetetive. it was always forclosed homes or kids dressed up as 401k papers
ReplyDeletealso a god editorial should make others think and rather agree or disagree with what the author is saying
ReplyDeleteThey need a link button i can't trace anything to see other cartoons
ReplyDeletethis editoral is poking fun at the tabbaco indursty because they will do anything to market their product and make money. The industry does not care who who they market tabbaco to.
ReplyDeleteI liked Jerzy's cartoon as well. It gets a point across against a sensitive subject.
ReplyDeleteI'm not happy seeing most of you being pessimistic about our country!
