  4. Exaggeration - Cartoonists will overdo physical characteristics of people or things in order to get attention or make a point.

  5. Labeling - Objects or people are often labeled by cartoonists to make it clear exactly what they stand for.

  6. Symbolism - Objects are used to stand for larger concepts or ideas.

  7. Analogy - Cartoonists will 'draw' a comparison between two unlike things.

  8. Irony - The difference between the way things are and the way things should be.
