Although political cartoons have been read as criticism in Kenneth Burke’s burlesque rejection frame, this article presents an alternative reading, to consider their potential for expressing attitudes of acceptance via comic framing. A Burkean vocabulary for studying cartoons is provided, including the mechanism of perspective by incongruity, the attitudinal alignments of acceptance and rejection, the genres of comic framing and burlesque, as well as the phenomenon of bureaucratization of the imaginative. South African cartoons featuring President Cyril Ramaphosa are then analyzed to illustrate how cartoons can potentially offer more nuanced political critiques when expressing comic discounting rather than burlesque debunking. The article concludes by reflecting on the civic potential of comic framing, as a constructive alternative to polemical cartooning.

Offense lurks behind the political cartoon like its shadow, capable of creating mixed reactions in the target. In terms of offense-giving, cartoonists are sometimes cautious and at other times cavalier, thereby causing intentional and inadvertent offense, respectively. This article examines the aspects of the political cartoon that facilitate the performance of offense, which is predominantly visual in nature. The article takes the position that there must be an earnest attempt at delimiting offense-giving. In order to emphasize this ethical turn, the authors attempt a delimitation exercise by experimenting with a select controversial cartoon.

Media coverage of protest, particularly its visual framing, is crucial to the legitimacy and impact of protest movements. Typical patterns in media coverage of protests, which account for discrepancies between how protests are portrayed, are the protest paradigm and WUNC (worthy, united, numbers, commitment). In order to investigate how specific visual items and features of media images showing political protest elicit positive or negative perceptions and annotations by an audience, we study two questions: Which visual features in media images of protest elicit positive or negative perceptions and annotations by an audience? How do these perceptions correspond with the protest paradigm and WUNC, respectively? We answer these questions by conducting a qualitative focus group study with students from a mid-size German university.

During my tenure as Editor-in-Chief, VCQ has published several articles about cartoons. Indeed, political, advertising, children’s, editorial, and other categories of cartoons are humorous, satirical, educational, and meaningful in many ways. The types and styles of visual representation they depict are an endless buffet for the visual communication researcher. Certainly, they are some of our favorite morsels of cultural fodder for visual analysis. This issue features two articles about cartoons.
