Cartoons a Funny Face for the News

Journalism doesn't mean just writing articles in a newspaper or conducting interviews, it also includes using a little bit more of imaginations and using the creative and humorous side that is hiding somewhere inside us.
The cartoons have become a new way of seeing the news, is like seeing things like of we were kids again; do you remember when you were a kid and used to watch Tom & Jerry, they didn't talk and hardly had music but we could understand everything that was going on and we used to find it interesting? Well that's what a news cartoons is, is a nice and different way of reading the news.
Most cartoons are used to make fun of people or maybe just of the circumstances like this cartoon about Obama. After Obama was elected as President of the United States, many people were expecting him to change the situations from one day to another, this cartoons is a parody of this situation.


Cartoons are a funny way of presenting the news, but when presenting a cartoon no matter what the theme is, you should take in account that to some people the cartoon may be insulting instead of funny.

  1. I completely agree about the Tom & Jerry thing, it is very true. I read the newspaper almost every day and you can always find a great cartoon making fun of someone or some current situation. It is very entertaining!

  2. I like this idea as well. It doesn't even have to be cartoons though. I love The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Though these aren't cartoons, they offer news in a humorous way and I probably wouldn't tune in if they weren't funny.
