Abstract
Brandon Reynolds addresses issues of environment in his editorial cartoons and the paper aims to unravel how he manipulates the conventions of the medium for public awareness and opinion formation. Both the formal and thematic aspects of the cartoons are analysed. Reynolds' cartoons are an ample testimony of how cartoons hold their own as literary texts in the dissemination of ideas. The paper discusses how they serve as texts of ecocriticism. Since the medium has not much been brought under ecocritical analysis like poems and novels earlier the unique features of cartoons are focused. The dynamics of verbal and visual components are brought under study. The ecological and historical aspects are discussed.
