Exaggeration Cartoonists will overdo physical characteristics of people or things in order to make a point. Labeling Objects or people are often labeled by cartoonists to make it clear exactly what they stand for. Symbolism Objects are used to stand for larger concepts or ideas. Analogy Cartoonists will 'draw' a comparison between two unlike things. Irony The difference between the way things are and the way things should be.
