REHUGO Analysis – Visual: Political Cartoon

A. Cartoon Attached – Artist: Edgar Argo

B. The cartoon comments on the trend that children believe that they are independent yet at the same are completely dependent on their parents.

C. The cartoon gives a comedic example of how children sometimes take their parents for granted. The little girl in the picture is a contradiction; she says she’s running away yet she still expects her parents to drive her to where she wants to go. It shows how children believe that their parents will always be there for them and take care of them, no matter what they do.

D. Most children never wonder if their parents will ever stop taking care of them and sometimes it will lead to children not appreciating their parents like the girl in the picture. A lot of children grow up with their parents always doing everything for them and never comprehend it until they have grown older. Children like to believe that they can do everything on their own but don’t realize just how false that belief is.
