Best Answer

By definition of a historical primary source (by someone with direct knowledge from the time), a original political cartoon is a primary source. By definition of an English primary source (it is printed), it is a primary source. By definition of the final form of primary sources (see definition of primary source on www.answer.com), it is based on someone's interpretation of the time and is thus a secondary source.

A political cartoon can be a primary source are visual documents that can be "read" in the same way that text can be read . A political cartoon is a visual representation of an artist's opinion or about a situation or event but their most important role is to make you think about the event they portray .
