Yesterday we discussed the use of symbols and the difference between comics and political cartoons. The youngest enjoyed this immensely; it appeals to his very smart, very wry sense of humor. He spent many hours drawing his own cartoons. The one above is a Civil War cartoon that paints the (dead) Yankee as the problematic rebel, which I suppose accurately reflects the Southern point of view of that era.
Hopefully soon he'll be able to explain the New Yorker illustrations to me.
