Causes & Effects in Cartoons

The chapter on causal arguments begins with a cartoon (p. 207) that, as the text points out, "takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the causal relationship between the cost and the quality of health care" (p. 206). Take a few minutes to find at least one cartoon online that makes a causal claim. Please explain to us what the causal message is and copy/paste the URL to the cartoon, so we can check it out.

Here's a cartoon I found. I think cartoon is arguing that antidepressants claim to help patients actually make their condition worse. Antidepressant led the king to this fantasy of collecting skulls and because of it he started killing people.

Check the forth one down...I think this is claiming the level of legitimcy of the elections and claiming that humor is worth making a catoon out of. www.offthemarkcartoons.com/.../ key/underwear/

This cartoon is telling us we can't find the purpose of the universe because there is no purpose to begin with, according to the mathematical formula.

This is a series of cartoons titled "How Iran Views America". The cartoonist makes his point by illustrating Iran as a death trap if US Forces are sent there. It also shows that there is no end to war there, similar to the way things are going in Iraq.
