Occupy movement cartoon

 

This cartoon is by John Darkow of the Columbia Daily Tribune. The desk and suits along with what is talked about show that this is taking place in a political office room. The adult is a well known Simpson's character who represents the corruption of the wealthy. The boys message is ironic because he's saying the people who own the country are unhappy with the Occupy movement, when the people in the Occupy movement are the majority and are supposed to own the country. What the adult says ridicules the governments abuse of police forces. Darkow agrees with the Occupy movement that the people in power are too powerful and corrupt. This cartoon portrays these beliefs by pointing out the police corruption and showing that it's the 1% who hold the power in the US.
