This political cartoon was written by Dana Summers for the Sentinel on January 03, 2012. This cartoon is showing an average American walking down the streets thinking that with the New Year there will be a fresh start. Little does he know, around the corner are waiting some nasty looking thugs wearing shirts called “Same ol’ Politics”, “Economics” and “Terror”. “Terror” specifically looks like an Arab holding a bomb.
The artist is using caricature to portray the three things many Americans thought would change with the start of the New Year. This is very sarcastic and not looking very hopeful for the politics of the New Year. Many Americans were hoping with the unsuccessful last Congress meeting before the holiday break that when the New Year came things would change and be different. This artist believes that none of this will happen and the poor unsuspecting Americans will not see any of it coming but the same old failures of last year will be present this year as well.
