For my cartoon analysis I picked “My Grandmother” cartoon on page 69. Junior is trying to tell about his grandmother. He draws her standing up with her arms crossed and smiling. He described in detail what is her best dish (salmon mush), the clothes that she wears. The cartoon also tells us, she’s a widow. Junior’s grandmother “makes money by selling beaded keychains on eBay” (pg 69). I assume that she somewhat fit for her age. I picked that cartoon because it reminds me of my grandmother Vera. She wears similar clothes and she's also so tollerant.
The message of this cartoon is to get a good picture of Arnold’s grandmother. She’s poor old woman but she’s happy with what she has. The purpose is to understand where Junior comes from and make an image of his grandmother in your brain, so when you read the book you can picture people the way they really are.
This is an important cartoon in the book. It really helps the reader understand just how much Arnold loves & admires his Grandmother. I'm glad you picked something that you could connect with and liked how you mentioned your own grandmother here.
