Passage 30
Cartoonist
In a good cartoon, the artist can tell in a few lines as much as a writer can tell in half a dozen paragraphs. The cartoonist not only tells a story but he also tries to persuade the reader to his way of thinking. He has great influence on public opinion. In a political campaign, he plays an important part. Controversial issues in Congress or at meetings of the United Nations may keep the cartoonist well-supplies with current materials.
A clever cartoonist may cause laughter because he often uses humour in his drawings. If he is sketching 1 a famous person, he takes a prominent feature and exaggerates it. Cartoonists, for instance, like to lengthen 2 an already long nose and to widen an already broad grin. This exaggeration of a person’s characteristics is called caricature. The artist uses such exaggeration to put his message across. (144 words)
