Crowd Control

• No Caption only a sign, and dialogue.
• In this cartoon you have a security guard, sign, and newspaper. The artist is very moderate it seems.
• The security guard is holding up a sign that reads "Election here today" then he makes a smart comic about non-lethal crowd control. While all at the same time you have a thrown newspaper on the floor whose headlines read Low voter turnout.
• The message of this cartoon is that their is a extremely low voter turnout in America which is shown by the thrown newspaper. The guard is sarcastically stating basically if you want to control a crowd just put up a sign that says election here. You will have people running or way or not showing up at all.
• It relates to our in class discussion on voter participation. Also it relates to current day problems with U.S low voter turnout compared to other countries.
• This cartoon uses both satire and irony. It uses satire on the basis of over dramatically expressing the low voter turnout. It uses irony because the officer is saying non-lethal crowd control by using a sign which is ironic because people use signs usually are used to draw people in not scare them away.
