Cartoon Trip

A political cartoon is a satire which aims to comment on nation's ruling system, the authorities and their power and policies, in order to critique the political situations that potentially change the lives of numerous citizens. Behind the apparent humour of this genre, a strong political consciousness operates. A political cartoonist is a corrective agent who carries the basic ambition to bring about a sociopolitical change using his art as voice of conscience of a whole nation. A cartoon does not offer to solve a problem, but it rather draws the public's attention to it, contradicts it and creates an argument.
