The first political cartoon I chose was on gay marriage. It was interesting to me that they could take an issue that is such a serious ordeal and make it into a humoring cartoon.The artist did a fair job at bringing up the issue but seemed to be a bit more rude for my likings.
My overall reaction was that of being shocked, it made me really question the norm that we have set for a "normal marriage" between man and woman. In the cartoon it poked fun at same sex couples for being not normal and the "normal couples" in the way that was implying no sex for the normal couple.

I had problems getting the pictures on here but here is the link of each cartoon.

The second political cartoon I found was on how people are caring less about the issue of school shootings and caring more about celebrities. I thought the cartoonist did an excellent job at how he brought up the issue by saying in the newspaper 25 deaths occured at a school shootings and the people are bored asking if any celebrities have broken up.
How true this is in our society now a day? It is sad to find that so many people care more about if Brad and Angelina are still together then someone that has died at a school shooting. My reaction was that of being impressed that the artist was able to open up my eyes and hopefully many others to see what we are really becoming.
