In a good cartoon, the artist can tell in a few lines as much as writer can tell in half a dozen paragraphs. The cartoonist not only tells a story but he also tries to persuade the reader to his way of thinking. He has great influence on public. He plays an important part in politics. Different opinions in Congress or at meetings of the United Nations may keep the cartoonist well-supplied with current materials.

A clever cartoonist may cause laughter because he often uses humor in his drawings. If he is drawing a famous person, he takes a prominent feature(突出的人物形象) and exaggerates(夸张) it. Cartoonists, for instance, like to lengthen an already long nose and to widen an already broad grin. This exaggeration of a person's appearance is called caricature. The artist uses such exaggeration to put his message across.
