Political Cartoon


-The artist of this cartoon appears to be a guy names Tornoe
-The two men on the left are the average American viewers of the election and all the drama that comes with it. The man on the horse is supposed to be a confused Ron Paul. The background is slightly random, but I believe it is supposed to be a reference to Don Quixote (Ron Quixote...get it)
-The very average wear of the men on the left suggest their position in middle-class America, and they are also the stereotypical middle-aged white male. Paul, sitting on his high horse clad in not-so-shining armor, represents his generally out of place feel - being a non-republican republican candidate with far-out views.
-The cartoon simply represents the views of Ron Paul, which are considered to be quite radical, and his absense from the campaigning until recently..."he looks kindof...lost"
-The author doesnt have a much of a bias, or doesnt show it if he does, he is simply showing how many people feel.
