Through these characters they can communicate the 'fun' elements of their products to kids without having a talk about taste or nutritional content. Political cartoons constitute a form of media text whose verbal and visual elements have made them an interesting research field across academic disciplines. The cartoons in this collection are relatively ‘tame’; they rarely target the tourist system and its establishments, or implicitly criticize tourist conduct. Finally, in a more diffuse sense, the highly expressive representations of the poses, body language and miens of tourists in the cartoons, draws our attention to a theme central in contemporary sociology, but somewhat neglected in tourist studies: the tourists' body. This indicates the importance of a more detailed study of the various modes of tourists' emotional experiences, such as fright, frustration, confusion and perplexity. This study examined the tone and content of 107 political, satirical cartoon images published in mainstream Australian newspapers in 2005 and 2006. The cartoons illustrated the sweeping reforms of the industrial relations system at a turbulent time in Australia's political history.

One, and perhaps most important for the present context, it draws attention to the phenomenon of ‘failed tourism’ (Noy, 2008) - many cartoons depict situations that lead unexpectedly to consequences opposite those the tourists aimed to attain, either owing to circumstances over which they have no control or to their incompetence.

Given the linguistic and nonlinguistic elements contained in the cartoon texts, cartoons could be harnessed to provide additional insights on how language is specifically used in media discourse. Third, these incongruities produce the ‘point’ of the cartoon. And fourth, the ‘point’ typically relates (critically) to some external target; however, unlike in the case of political cartoons, many cartoons in the collection studied turned out to be just target-less pure ‘fun’. Our analysis was conducted in terms of a conceptual framework, developed for this study, which approaches visual cartoons as having an implicit temporal dimension; the cartoons are seen as ‘slides,’ showing particular situations in some ongoing event. This paper has made two general contributions to the study of visual cartoons: it proposed a conceptual framework for their analysis and a classification of their principal genres. A second general contribution of this study consists of the evolvement of a classification of text-less visual cartoons. The cartoons' content represented many of the concerns and issues being voiced by employer groups, government, opposition, unions and the media at the time. For example, a student in Group 2 showed hypothetical thinking in the following excerpt: Student 1: Will the boy’s hand feel cold if the metal spoon was being heated and put into the glass of cold water?

The midnight blue night is surrounded by clouds which give a surreal and imaginative feel to the entire emblem. The principal conclusion yielded by the analysis of the cartoons in these terms is that their humorous point typically emerges from the ‘emplotment’ of rather ordinary looking, mostly middle-aged male (mass) tourists, in a great variety of extraordinary situations. These are analyzed in terms of four interrelated facets: first, the ‘demographic’ characteristics of the dramatis personae depicted on the cartoons; a survey of their characteristics supplies the basis for the analysis of the situations on the cartoons. A small, but important group of cartoons were seen as ‘allegories,’ in which the cartoonist availed themselves of the medium of tourism or travel to express some deeper existential concerns. Additionally, Nigerian cartoonists use interjections frequently in the cartoon written texts to create satirical impressions about political leaders, because interjections are used to express a strong emotions or feelings.

From the findings of the study, a distinct lexical topology for identifying lexical items and their distribution in the cartoon written texts has been developed. This paper aims at contributing to the knowledge of political cartoon research by analyzing the linguistic elements used in the cartoon written texts to illustrate how Nigerian cartoonists specifically use language to construct satire as a means that could be used perhaps to initiating positive social and political reforms in Nigeria. This increasing research interest indicates that political cartoons have successfully constituted a distinct multimodal genre within media discourses.
