Visual Argument Cartoons




1x1.trans Presidential Debates, Like Political Cartoons, Are Shallow    This cartoon argues that Obama needs to work on how he presents himself in the presidential debate. Viewers argued that Obama struggled with his body language and the flow of his words more than what he actually said. When you first look at this cartoon your eyes are immediately drawn to Romney and Obama's head. The white surrounds them and makes them stand out more than the audience who is faded in the background. Romney has a paper on his podium and Obama does not. This suggests that Romney was more prepared then Obama. The visual argument of this is that Obama needs to work on his presentation of his information.




argument cartoons, argument cartoon, argument picture, argument pictures, argument image, argument images, argument illustration, argument illustrations This cartoon is about a husband and a wife. It argues that Wives are always right and husbands are always wrong. You can tell this is the argument because of their shirts. Everything is focused in the center so your eye is not drawn to any one specific image. The wrong and right are is caps on the shirts which shows that the creator of this cartoon wanted to stress this point because it was the base of his argument. The wife looks very happy because she is always right and the husband looks unhappy because he is always wrong. These facial expressions are expected because when people are correct they are happy, and when people are wrong they are unhappy. The creator of this cartoon intended for these expressions. The visual argument of this cartoon is that wives are always correct while husbands are always incorrect.
