To create a political cartoon...
Start with a situation that breaks a basic civics lesson - corruption, majority crushes minority, un-responsive government, tyrannical government, government that does not represent people...
And provide a short write up and description - keep in mind that humor is the contrast between expected from the context and the actual.
We like to leave the observer from the point of view of Socrates or James Madison... seeing the comic situation from the perspective of Socrates or Madison
The Cartoonist provides a rough drawing based on written description
Cartoonist provides a final drawing based on feedback...
​For example - written description:
"Trump and Biden as Donkey and Elephant wrestling with each other in a wrestling ring
- The donkey and elephant should be wrestling like bugs bunny, look a little like Trump and Biden, with the elephant sitting on donkey's head
- From the point of view of Socrates: ‘Plato, look at those two idiots’.
Here is the result:
