Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze political cartoons found on Daryl Cagle's (2005) website. By using the work of Benoit, Klyukovski, McHale, & Airne (2001), a Fantasy Theme Analysis is performed. This analysis argues that the cartoonists create a vision that is critical of President Bush and that they form an argument in an attempt to sway public opinion. Furthermore, this analysis suggests implications for the use of Fantasy Theme Analysis and the study of visual rhetoric as a field of study.
