Cartoon Analysis

This cartoon shows how much more dominance of the roads cars have over bikes. It depicts a bike and a car on a balance scale, noting that the car weighs 100,000 lbs, while the car weighs 4,079. On the scale, the car seems to be weighing more than the obviously heavier bicycle. This shows how much more power a little car has over bikes. This cartoon is not very effective, because the weight ratio really doesn't make that much sense, and doesn't completely support the idea of what the artist was trying to convey. It is obvious to tell the point he is getting at, but he doesn't make it very clear for the audience.
