Despite the fact more and more people turn to You Tube on TV or in their mobiles, still lots of people across the world read articles s involving state politics or national politics. Articles with funny cartoons get our attention because a good cartoonist, requires good imagination, sharp mind, excellent drawing skill in cartooning and the innate ability to put the message - be it political or otherwise- across the people in a manner that will remain etched in them. In the UK the Royal family members' antics and carping remarks are frequent themes in the funny cartoons, particularly Duke of Edinburgh who won't close his garrulous mouth shut without hurting others.

To a female solicitor, 1987: “I thought it was against the law for a woman to solicit.”
Mr Whitaker wrote: "When Philip's cousin Patricia Mountbatten remarked on Elizabeth's flawless complexion, the Prince joked: 'Yes, and she's like that all over."
“You are a woman, aren’t you?” – in Kenya in 1984, after accepting a small gift from a local woman................
A cartoon (from Italian: cartone and Dutch: karton) is nothing but a kind of two-dimensional illustration whose correct definition has changed over a period of time. In the present world, the usage refers to a non-realistic or semi-realistic artistic style of drawing or painting or an image or a series of images intended for satire, caricature, or humor. An artist who creates cartoons is called a cartoonist. Motion picture cartoon is altogether a different field.
The concept of cartoon illustration goes back to the Middle Ages and in the early stages, it was first described as a preparatory drawing for a piece of art, such as a painting, fresco, tapestry, or stained glass window before the finished work. It was a sort of model drawings subject to corrections, etc. In the 19th century, cartoons were referred to as humorous illustrations in magazines and newspapers and in many of them, they became regular features.. One positive aspect is with the advent of cartoon illustrations in the magazines and newspapers, the articles drew the attention of the readers and it gave them thrill.
According to modern print media, a cartoon is an illustration or series of illustrations, usually humorous in intent. Cartoon illustrations date back to 1843 when Punch magazine used the term to satirical drawings in its pages, in particular, sketches by John Leech. The punch magazine's cartoons were intended to be satirical and many of them ironically made reference to the self-aggrandizing posturing of Westminster politicians and their antics and extravaganza. There are two kinds of cartoons Gag cartoons, which include editorial cartoons, and comic strips.
Among various cartoons, Editorial cartoons are quite interesting and are found almost exclusively in new papers, news websites and magazines. The unusual feature of all cartoons is the cartoonists employ humor as a focal point. They may be more serious in tone, commonly using irony or satire to bring out the message. It is a visual representation of a metaphor to highlight a point of view on important current social and/or political topics. Editorial cartoons often include speech balloons (graphic convention used most commonly in comic books) and sometimes use multiple panels.
Political cartoons are being watched by millions of people world over. Many politicians are known for their gaffes, blabbering and wrong giving distorted statistical data. Cartoons illustrate editorials or articles in the newspapers or magazines and act as supplementary visual commentaries on political events. They offer subtle criticisms which are cleverly coated with a layer or two of humor and satire in such a way the criticized does not get offended.

Personally I like cartoons very much A magazine or a newspaper without a cartoon is something like a man in Adam's dress. The cartoons make us not only laugh and think but also give us respite from reading drab and dry new paper articles. They hold a mirror to the society, its pitfalls and progress. With magnifying glasses, they bring forth the arrogance of corrupt politicians, eccentricities of the rich and famous and the abject poverty of a section of people in any society.
These cartoonists inspire readers by way of adding color and shape to our society's dark sides and weird people associated with the government, who are neither concerned about the evils in our society nor about the country's progress. Cartoonists never fail to add zest to their news papers or magazines and make them attractive.
The following are the funny cartoons that will give a laugh and make you think:

Above image: During the colonial period, for more than 200 plus years, India was a Milch cow for the British Bobs. India's GDP in 1600s was 23% and it plummeted to just 3% when the last British left India's shores. Imagine how India was exploited and squandered to the tune of 46 Trillion US dollars (Recent value).
