Humour is another significant element of this art form, cartoonist by this element attempt to engage with the ruling authority and also communicate something about society widely. Humor along with the critical resonance exists in cartoon form a tendency that constitutes plurality by allowing individual towards progressive and critical thinking. The composition of both significant elements in cartooning constitutes its unique feature that justifies anger and disagreement with the power relation in a different way. Continuing this debate, the paper engages critically with the implicit attitudes and ideology of cartooning that a cartoonist propagates through the social and historical meaning of a particular sign and symbol. In that particular context, attitude and ideology will be treated as integral and much conventional to the morality and value that society often defines or disseminate in a particular social condition through the cartoon. And lastly, the paper argues that the cartooning help conveys the message to a reader's reality and communicate to readers on their level.
