Political Cartoon

The main visual elements in this cartoon are that there is a footprint on Africa, and that Africa is a dark color. The issue this political cartoon figuratively is that someone stepped on Africa, but literally it means that someone has ruined Africa. The cartoonist’s position in this cartoon is that he/she thinks that it is horrible that this has happened, and the color scheme of this cartoon shows that as well as the fact that the footprint is huge. The cartoonist could have put more detail that shows how Africa was ruined in the cartoon to make it more persuasive.
