Are you referring to the 11/21/2002 cartoon about big government ? If not , we really need the date . Please re-post your question with a link if possible .

Yes, I tried to post my question with a link and answers.com did not accept. I am trying to analyze the message of this cartoon for my political science class, I have ideas, but would like to hear what others think.

>In the upper left hang corner is an elephant that represents the Republican party saying how they hate big government . Whereas in the larger frame there is the selfsame elephant rationalizing the extensive bureaucracy/buildings surrounding Homeland security (Which is now a cabinet appointment/post ) by using the euphemism of 'humongous' which is acceptable as long as you accept the new terminology .

The satire lies in the irony that one of the tenets of Republican principles is the philosophy of laissez-faire which essentially promotes the idea that less/smaller government is better than a larger or BIG government .

What was the name of the 90's tv program that had a bat in it?

Possibly a cartoon adaptation- for a series cartoon- of Anastasia , who had the Good-guy ( Eventually) albino Bat, Bartok, later the separate cartoon film Bartok the Magnificent. Bats are seen as demonic and repulsive to most people and do not generally make for affectionate cartoon animals. there may have been one-shot bats- I seem to recall a ( Different types can be friends) message cartoon ( possibly Warner) which dealt with an odd friendship struck up between a Barn Owl and a Bat, all handled very light-heartedly,. this was a one-shot cartoon could date pre-war, as cartoons seldom are dated ( as you view them) this was on TV off and on around maybe the late seventies. Or maybe BATFINK?

Your asking about the political cartoon. It has the noose because the message is there is no liberty. Often the items in a political cartoon give the opposite message of what is first looks like.

What is the a difference between political cartoons and editorial cartoons?

Political Cartoons are art forms portraying government programs, policies, and personalities in humorous ways. Although occasionally used to elicit praise, political cartoons more often employ satire and parody to criticize opponents during election campaigns. Political cartoons also manipulate well-known cultural symbols to enhance the cartoon's comments about newsworthy situations. Political cartoons are the legitimate offspring of graffiti, and they retain the salacity and naughtiness of their parent. Political cartoons have become more pervasive with advances in communications technology.An editorial cartoon, also known as a political cartoon, is an illustration or comic strip containing a political or social message, that usually relates to current events or personalities.
