Abstract
Socio-political cartoons serve as a dynamic fusion of visual and verbal semiotic systems, with humour, satire, and irony emanating from the intricate interplay of these elements. This research focuses on the renowned Indian cartoonist R.K. Laxman and his iconic 'Common Man,' popularized through the 'You Said It' pocket cartoon series.

Through this exploration, the researcher seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the socio-political commentary within the Indian context, emphasizing the cultural and political significance of Laxman's contributions
