Tow #10: Bad Mix

This political cartoon is very emotional because it causes so many problems in our society: drinking and driving. This political cartoon illustrates how wrong drinking and driving is. The context of this cartoon is drinking and driving and how problematic it is in our society. The author made this cartoon to depict how bad of a choice drinking and driving is and that it never ends well.
 John Pritchett is an award-winning cartoonist and this image is really credible because it uses rhetorics. The main rhetorical device in this cartoon is juxtaposition because it compares drinking and driving. It shows the outcomes of this are not good. The illustration of this cartoon is very creative because it has the car sinking into the martini glass. This is very ironic because it shows the consequences of drinking and driving and how they are never good. The red color in "Bad Mix" really brings attention to the eye because it shows emphasizes on how bad drinking and driving is.
I think that the author didn't do as well of a job illustrating the irony in drinking and driving because more could have been done to show the disastrous effects of drinking and driving instead of making it look like an ironic satire.
