Politcial Cartoon History.
Many historical books contain cartoons, but in most cases these are little more than a relief from the text, and do not make any point of substance which is not made elsewhere. Political cartoons should be regarded as much more than that. They are an important historical source which often casts vivid light on events, and which is useful both to the teacher and to the researcher. The essential of a political cartoon is that it is not meant to portray an actual event, but is designed to bring out points which are not adequately made by textual descriptions - or which can be understood by illiterate people, or by people in a hurry.

IDEA 1 : CELEBRITY
This was my first initial idea of a political cartoon based upon the issue of Katie price (Jordan) thinking about shaving her head because of the amount of stress she is in, in this cartoon peter Andréa has been the reason why Jordan is thinking to shave her head which is why I placed peter’s face in a thought bubble above Jordan’s head which illustrates how obsessed she is with. peter.
