Question

Study the editorial cartoon by Signe Wilkinson.

A man holding a phone looks out his window at home. There is a large snowman between 2 parked cars. The man says quot;I saved you a space!"

Which element is most effective in this cartoon?

the traditional carrot nose, coal eyes, and buttons of the snowman
the types of cars parked in front of the apartment
the size of the snowman compared to the cars
the body language and expression of the snowman

Answer 1

the size of the snowman compared to the cars

Explanation: the exaggerated scale makes it clear the snowman is occupying a parking space and creates the visual gag that the man "saved" a spot by building it there.
