Eric Allie Cartoon

I believe that there are a couple of jokes within Eric Allie’s cartoon, “ Potato Chip that looks like a messiah.” I think the cartoonist is trying to show his opinion about the lack of important or interesting information on the news, but he is also showing his opinion about how the news these days is all about the presidential race. If you were a die-hard republican, you could also make the argument that the cartoon is making a joke about how some democrats are making Obama sound like he is going to be the next savior, or “messiah.” The cartoon, as is the case with most political cartoons, contains a message that is perceived differently by people with varying background and political views.
