This is your guide on how to make a catchy cartooning.

1. Cartooning
Student opinion is expressed in the campus
paper through the editorial proper and columns,
letter to the editor, and editorial cartoon

2. An editorial cartoon is an
aaa
illustration expressing opinion
and interpretation. The word
cartoon is derived from two
words caricature and lampoon

3. A caricature is an exaggerated
description generally by sketching. It
is a pictorial representation of a
person or an object in which to
defects or peculiarities are
exaggerated so as to produce a
ludicrous effect

4. A lampoon on the other side is a
place of malicious writing, a
personal written satire that attacks
and ridicules.It is sketched rather
than written

5. The editorial cartoon like the lead
editorial, may also perform any of
the three functions of the news
press :

-To influence
-- To entertain

6. Suggestion for cartooning :
1.If you decide to use
cartoon, make sure that it
is done in good taste and
that it should say
something ;
2.Like an editorial, it should
deal with only one topic ;

7. 3. The purpose of cartoon is to
visualize an idea. Limit then, the use
of words and labels. Unlike a picture
on the news page, a cartoon does not
need a caption

8. You may use symbols like a dove
for peace, a laurel leaf for victory, or
a heart for love. But be sure that the
symbolis universal. i.e. It is easily
understood even by an ordinary
reader. The message is more
important than the drawing

9. 5. Be original. Don’t plagiarize.
Develop your own style

10. Some examples :

:
Tyranny foreign debt
Political violence rebellion
Brownout political
dynasty

Terrorism criminality

19. Exercise 2
The recent typhoon Juling caused great
destruction in devastated Northern Luzon,
particularly Isabela and Tuegagarao killing or injuring
hundreds of people destroying public and private
property and leaving in its wake unprecedented
misery in the people who now need our help very
badly.
Prepare an editorial cartoon deficting the tragedy and at
the same time knocking
all the hearts of the readers appealing to them for all
kind of help you can think of .
