(I'm also flattered that your daughter chose my cartoon to write about Joan of Arc.) <br /><br />To answer your daughter's questions:<br /><br />The symbolism is that leaders, like Joan of Arc, (or Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln) are quite often attacked for their controversial statements and actions.<br /><br />I suppose the message is that being a leader of a movement (or even an organization), can be a thankless job...with the leader often suffering.<br /><br />My point of view in creating this cartoon was slightly different than usual.. I'm often trying to find a funny way to make a point. This cartoon it was more of a historical depiction with a bit of satire, rather than a full-on humorous piece. But hopefully the messages come across.<br /> <br />Hope that helps. Good luck with the history project!<br /><br />MarkMark Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539011030129280227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29620414.post-31472135418336187852021-06-03T10:49:29.422-06:002021-06-03T10:49:29.422-06:00Hello Mark,

My name is Kristine, My daughter is finishing up a final school project and I was wondering if I can ask you a few questions about your political cartoon called, "Leadership isn't what it is cracked up to be." With Joan of Arc.<br />Can you please tell me<br />1) what is the symbolism of this cartoon.<br />2)what is the message you were trying to convey.<br />3) what is your point of view as the artist.<br /><br />Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing from you.<br /><br />KristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
