What is an editorial cartoon?

 Newspaper editorial cartoons are graphic expressions of their


creator’s ideas and opinions. In addition, the editorial cartoon usually,
but not always, reflects the publication’s viewpoint.
 Editorial cartoons are based on current events. That means that they
are produced under restricted time conditions in order to meet
publication deadlines (often 5 or 6 per week).
 Editorial cartoons, like written editorials, have an educational
purpose. They are intended to make readers think about current
political issues.
 Editorial cartoons must use a visual and verbal vocabulary that is
familiar to readers.
 Editorial cartoons are part of a business, which means that editors
and/or managers may have an impact on what is published.
 Editorial cartoons are published in a mass medium, such as a
newspaper, news magazine, or the Web.
 Editorial cartoons are tied to the technology that produces them,
whether it is a printing press or the Internet. For printed cartoons,
their size at the time of publication and their placement (on the front
page, editorial page, or as the centerfold) affects their impact on
readers. The addition of color may also change how readers respond
to them.
 Editorial cartoons differ from comic strips. Editorial cartoons appear
on the newspaper’s editorial or front page, not on the comics page.
They usually employ a single-panel format and do not feature
continuing characters in the way that comic strips do.
 Editorial cartoons are sometimes referred to as political cartoons,
because they often deal with political issues.
 

What tools does the editorial cartoonist use to communicate ideas


and opinions with readers?

 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, wear
an apron, and hold a screaming baby in her arms.
 Symbols are pictures that represent something else by tradition. A
dove is a symbol for peace.
 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.
 Humor is the power to evoke laughter or to express what is amusing,
comical or absurd.
 

How can an editorial cartoon be evaluated?

 A good editorial cartoon combines a clear drawing and good writing.


 A good editorial cartoon expresses a recognizable point-of-view or
opinion.
 In the best instances, the cartoon cannot be read or understood by
only looking at the words or only looking at the picture. Both the
words and the pictures must be read together in order to understand
the cartoonist’s message.
 Not all editorial cartoons are meant to be funny. Some of the most
effective editorial cartoons are not humorous at all. Humor is only one
tool available to editorial cartoonists.

Editorial cartoons provide a window into history by showing us what people


were thinking and talking about at a given time and place. Today’s editorial
cartoons will provide the same record of our own time.
