This source is a picture of a modern political cartoon. Political cartoons are as much as the same as they were in Nasts time period. Although they have seen some change in content, the basic principle has always stayed the same: persuasion. Most of the time today's political cartoons are used to "bash" the other opponent or opposite position someone is running for. Mostly the same principles have maintained their true stars and stripes. Now a days there are different methods for cartooning instead of actually drawn out cartoons. There are plenty of drawn out cartoons in this day and age but these methods have increased with increasing technology, such as phones, digital equipment, such as TV and radio. Political cartooning can now reach a much bigger and wider variety of individuals than just a simple drawing. Both can be equally effective if presented correctly, but cartooning is always improving with time. Individuals have come up with better tactics and new and improved ways to get their messaging across to an audience.
