EDIT: by the way.. what do video-games have to do with school massacres?
How'bout the relation between hamburgers and obesity? And the one between TV and ignorance? The thing is you agree with some relations and not with others. Maybe, a cartoon with a kid holding a shotgun and a joystick coming out of his head would be a bad cartoon for you because you don't think video-games are responsible for school massacres. But some would see there a good cartoon. The same way, some people might see in this Jesus Christ's cross turned into a sex toy (while the Pope covers Jesus' eyes) a good metaphor to the Catholic church's moment. You don't. Thanks for your opinion...

A cartoon, as I see it, is a caricature of a viewpoint. It's not bad or good if it portraits (or not) YOUR perspective.
sure, that's not what I meant.
It wasn't so much that I disagreed with this cartoon's message (which I do) than that the iconography didn't make much sense to me. And that's where you can make a difference between good & bad cartoons: the good ones are "new" AND easily understandable for the target audience. Of course, sometimes it's people's fault when they don't get it (as I implied) but I'd say in most cases the artist didn't succeed.

What do hamburgers have to do with obesity? What do television has to do with ignorance? What do video-games have to do with school massacres? You have to do the math, mate. That's the beauty of it. It's not fun if I have to explain it...
I'd even go as far as saying that it's not good if you have to explain it.
or that I'm stupid if you have to explain it.
make your choice.
