This is a political cartoon by John Cole, a political cartoonist from Waverly, PA. This cartoon depicts Perry running for president of the United States. Perry, who's campaign is highly religious based, is dressed as Jesus walking on water. There are people who are underwater who represents different issues we as Americans are facing. Cole portrays Perry as being "holy" and "above the average citizen." This is a one frame cartoon and it uses both image and words. The people who are underwater has writings on their shirts such as minimum wage worker, uninsured, and he also uses drawings of one child on the shoulders of another with the words "education cuts" on their shirts. I feel Cole really hit the religion aspect because as I said before Perry's speaks about religion in his campaign speeches.
