Abstract
Offense lurks behind the political cartoon like its shadow capable of creating mixed reactions in the target. In terms of offense-giving, cartoonists are sometimes cautious and, at other times, cavalier, thereby causing intentional and inadvertent offense, respectively. This paper examines the aspects of the political cartoon that facilitate the performance of offense, which is predominantly visual in nature. The paper takes the position that there must be an earnest attempt at delimiting offense giving. In order to emphasize this ethical turn, the authors attempt a delimitation exercise by experimenting with a select controversial cartoon.
