The document discusses using cartoons as a learning strategy in educational contexts. It notes that cartoons can help students understand abstract concepts and facilitate comprehension of graphic messages. Characteristics of educational cartoons include raising curricular topics, using legal and economic concepts, and suggesting didactic reasoning or questions to help students deduce or apply classroom concepts. Activities involving cartoons can help students explain, search for, and relate concepts, as well as discover new meanings and inconsistencies. While some jokes may be difficult, with classroom explanations students can understand references and apply ideas from cartoons in different contexts.
