"The Kids' Campaign Trail"
- I honestly don't understand why this caption was used.
- Newt Gingrich is with a poster of Mitt Romney.
- Newt is drawing two vampire teeth on the Romney poster, while saying he wants to make "two points" about him, the points actually being the vampire fangs.
- The message in this cartoon is to show Newt Gingrich's feeling towards Romney in a childish way (by drawing fangs on his poster), which may be why the title says the "kids'" campaign trail.
- This cartoon doesn't relate to any specific political event, but just Newt's general feelings towards Mitt Romney.
- It is satirical because in reality I don't think you'd ever catch Newt Gingrich, or any politician for that matter, drawing on another's poster.
"The Beneficiaries of Tea"
- This title is used to show the real people who benefit from the tea party, but with actual tea.
- Paul Ryan's budget is represented by a tea bag, while the tea spreading in one area are the benefits for the 1%, and the other is the small 99%.
- The action taking place inthis cartoon is a tea bag spreading the majority of it's "benefits" to the the 1%.
- The message of this cartoon is to reveal who really receives benefits from Paul Ryan's budget.
- This cartoon relates to Paul Ryan's proposed budget plans, but not to much we discussed in class.
- This is satirical because the beneficiaries of Ryan and the tea party are represented by real tea.
