Herblock's cartoon could be criticised for potential inaccuracies in his political cartoon, Transported. For example, claiming "war, poverty, and prejudice" are happening, but to what extent could it be true for the whole earth? Herblock uses logos in presenting commonly known facts, but this probably wouldn't stand up to more in depth analysis. Furthermore, although there was an element of entertainment to the actual moon landings, the men who performed these tasks faced extreme danger, from the moment they took off to the time they landed back at home.

Thirdly, is a cartoon called “Patience Monsignor Your Time Will Come.” This cartoon depicts the Clergy and shows the clergy being fat, overfed, and underworked. It demonstrates that the clergy had more wealth in the church than the poor peasants. The people disliked that the church was wealthier than the people and wanted the clergy to be squeezed of all their money. The people of the enlightenment went in and attack the Church, taking as much money as they could. The Catholic's became very offended, but they found themselves to be more afraid of the power that the commoners held. The many different cartoons of this time brought harsh criticism to the Catholic churches. But the depictions of the events helped the people express their feelings

This political cartoon by Dr. Seuss accurately depicts the attitude of America during the beginning of WWII when they were trying to stay out of the war. America thought that, because they were separated by the Atlantic Ocean from Europe, they would not be caught up in the war. Little did they know, the war was like a sickness, and sickness spreads. This cartoon depicts America, personified as Uncle Sam, sleeping soundly in his bed, thinking he will not get sick, but sure enough he will soon catch the sickness of war. Europe appears weak and tired in the bed beside him. They are obviously weaker than Uncle Sam and in need of help, but Uncle Sam, able-bodied and strong, has his eyes closed. Suess, in a way, is kind of making fun of the

Published on October 31, 1896, just days before the election of President William Mckinley, the cartoon expressed popular concerns about immigration that reflect the emotional backbone of various anti immigration acts and organizations at the time.

The U.S. cartoon that I am writing about is obviously from a time in history. The cartoon has features that I will explain in just a moment. The first sentence in the article states that it is from “the late 1800s,” now how would someone know that if it wasn’t stated?

Today, images surround us, and they can have a bigger interaction between their viewers than may be assumed. In Scott McCloud’s book, “Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art”, he relays the concept of simplification, and how to use it to bring more emphasis to the meaning of the drawing. In other words, McCloud is saying that through a process of breaking down a drawing to its rawest and most simplistic form, the piece itself becomes deeper in meaning. When looking at a finished image it should be apparent that the artist put thought into every detail, line, shape. When a final image looks simplistic, this is where the artist has succeeded in tricking the eye into believing the image is effortless when in fact it can in some cases be the exact

Hi Kariann, I think you made a good point about how perfection is the secondary to their communication. I am supporting you with the idea that the comic women make were relates more on the communication and the information. On the other hand, the comic men create may focus on the imagination. I think that was the reason why Trina Robbins mentioned in the article that women are finally putting their comics in the social media, so that the audience or the reader will be able to read their comic. The women will also look on the comic online or through magazine to get any comic she wants. Moreover, their secondary perfection actually contributed the hindrance of the female voice in the comic industry. I would say that there is a lot of hostility

One of the biggest struggles in my life tends to be food. I love eating, but at the same time, I rather not eat. I love trying new foods with exotic flavors and unique recipes, but I fear the reaction that by body will force on me. I have recently been diagnosed with a condition known as dyspepsia. This essentially means my stomach does not enjoy food as much as my mouth does. With each meal, I face the possibility of becoming nauseous after eating. As a result, I tend to avoid large portions, greasy, or overly sweet foods. Although, every now and then, I push my fears of food aside and fully indulge myself in spectacular meals. Poe’s Tavern has been the restaurant in which I break beyond my fears and gorge on food. Located in Wrightsville beach, Poe’s Tavern tends to be one of my favorite places to eat to feel satisfied after a meal, and fascinated as a literary fanatic throughout the entire experience.

He tends to be most well known for his poems and short stories, in which Poe’s Tavern glorifies through their restaurant environment as well as food selection. Poe’s Tavern has been a phenomenal restaurant for any literary enthusiast with an interest in a fascinating environment and adventurous taste pallet.
