Chips and I had a discussion about political cartoons.  It was part of a recent Calvert Fifth Grade American History lesson to help students to understand, and appreciate, political cartoons.  As a regular reader of God's World News, Chips has been exposed to several political cartoons, so he has the idea down in his mind.

Therefore, he decided to try his hand at creating his own political cartoons, just for fun.

Chips pokes fun at some of the issues of the times.  Here are the results:

Here is the first cartoon, using an airplane as a symbol.  Chips loves airplanes.

And here is his commentary on the economy.  A very simple message.

Just goes to show the impact, upon children, of the Information Age.  There is no way that I would have understood the concept of political cartoons at Chips' age!
