    Cartoonists use symbolism, captioning and labels, analogy, irony, and exaggeration to convey their point of view in political cartoons. Common symbols include doves, olive branches, and victory signs to represent peace; Uncle Sam, flags, and Lady Liberty to represent the United States; donkeys for Democrats and elephants for Republicans; and skulls, grim reapers, and vultures to represent death. Captions and labels provide clarity and emphasis, while analogies draw comparisons and irony highlights unexpected outcomes. Exaggerated features are also used to magnify issues.
