The document discusses editorial cartoons, which are illustrations on the editorial page that express opinion to influence readers. Editorial cartoons use exaggeration and humor to critique political and social issues in a single-idea format. They aim to appeal to readers' sense of humor while communicating the editorial staff's perspective. Cartoons can inspire, satirize, or correct. Effective cartoons focus on one topic, use simple and clear symbols, and present ideas accurately without needing many words. The document provides tips for creating editorial cartoons and lists common symbolic representations.
