Abstract

As a form of social commentary, political cartoons hold a unique commentary position of media discourse used to express opinions, and bring up valuable arguments. Visual rhetoric of metaphor, symbolism, and exaggeration are used to communicate the cartoonists’ message and creativity in portraying issues of public interest. The aim of this analysis is distinguishing and identifying the rhetorical devices used in Zunar’s political cartoons. As a prominent Malaysia cartoonist, Zunar’s cartoons are rich with the elements of rhetorical features. It therefore creates an awareness thus providing mechanics of the mapping of rhetorical devices as an effective tool to editorial cartoon readers.
