 Political comic reflects today's societyIn response to Stacy Carrel's "comic-bashing" article, I would have to disagree. Typically, when a political comic is made, it's to make a meaningful statement that reflects some truth. I believe the comic of the two school-aged children watching the broadcast of gun-shooting reflects on the factor that yes, school shootings are affecting the mentality of today's youth and yes, there needs to be a stop to this. But, if you actually read the comic, past the visual imagery, you'd realize that this is exactly the point trying to be made — school-aged children do think about and are influenced by gun violence. In remark to the comment, "whomever thought to create this comic, what were you thinking?" Um, that's exactly what the artist was doing — about critical social issues that are affecting our nation's youth. Lastly, is this not a college-based newspaper? The comic was primarily directed towards an adult audience, who is daily becoming more aware of gun violence in our nation's schools. The comic portrays a social commentary, moreover, a valuable lesson to all of us out there that can make a stand against gun violence. Jessica Medeiros Sophomore, School of Liberal Arts |
