Answer 3

Here is what you need to understand those political Cartoons:

• Knowledge of current events - editorial cartoons are always about something going on in the world today, so you need to know what they're talking about if you want to understand the cartoon
• Knowledge of current world leaders - many of the cartoons poke fun at world leaders, so you need to be able to recognize their drawings and caricatures, or at least know their names so you can understand why the cartoon is funny
• Knowledge of current language - most editorial cartoons make fun of the way politicians talk or word things in legal documents - you should understand at least some of the things that are "hip" in today's political arenas
• Knowledge of history and society - many cartoons rely on your understanding of major events in the past, so you should have a good grasp of history, especially in your part of the world

That done, look at the cartoon. Check for any labels or signs that tell you who the people in the cartoon are -- sometimes a cartoonist will show a country or an event as a person or animal, too. Look at how the people and events are shown to see if the cartoonist is trying to make fun of them or make them sympathetic. Check the caption or speech balloons to see what the cartoonist wants you to understand from the cartoon. If you don't understand a term, a reference, or anything else in the cartoon then use your search engine to look it up!

That's the best way to understand editorial cartoons.
