    Have you taken a history class in high school? They teach about political cartoons and how they were the memes before memes. Memes have lots of text just like these cartoons.

    Well maybe they don’t teach you if you’re in a red state, but all AP History classes should at least have that covered.

        Fair I shouldn’t have assumed.

        But these are the rules of a political cartoon. Like how there are rules for a Haiku. These aren’t as stringent but that’s the general idea.
