Cartoon #3

1-The cartoon that I have picked was drawn by Jimmy Margulis.

2- It was published in The Record of Hackensack, NJ on December 11^th

3- the cartoon deals with the issue of the war in Afghanistan, since it shows a common man who is complaining about his electric bill saying that he has to pay $30 billion, while he is complaining the costumer service woman who is sitting reading the newspapers said he has to pay that amount of money as a result of the lights that are at the end of the tunnel.

4- the cartoon message is that every common person will pay for the war that maybe they did not even agree with, as it’s showed here, this ordinary man has to pay for something he has nothing to do with.

5- I think the message is correct since it shows how every single person gets touched by the war, how every person has to pay from their taxes or bills to help this war to continue. Even though lots of people don’t agree with the war, most of them don’t even know that they are actually paying for it.
