Mark Fiore cartoon.

Assignment #2 my responses in black.

Watch this cartoon by satirist Mark Fiore and post on your blog what argument you think he is making and whether or not he is successful.

Are you trying to say there is an argument in this cartoon? I am not seeing it. I agree the market and the US is going down the craper and we are in trouble. But alas I have bigger fist to fry, you could say I am being self centered but divorce is ugly and tends to make me not care about the state of things around me.

Who is his audience?

I guess you are, I am not feeling it at the moment.

How would someone who disagrees with his opinion respond?

Well if you feel that the US is wonderful and not circling the drain then you could make all kinds of ignorant arguments. I am not feeling that creative to put words in your mouth so feel free to voice them.

Does his argument aim to offend? What specific techniques does he use to mock his targets?

First I guess it would to those disillusioned in their beliefs. The only technique I see is the cartoon itself.
