This political cartoon contains a speech bubble of what I believe to be the man's wife asking if he was sure where that sushi cam from. In this picture, I see a man who has grabbed a piece of sushi at the dinner table with a woman. The cartoonist's message is simply a warning that cautions people about eating foods that are imported from Japan because they may contain radiation. This cartoon relates to the event of Japan's earthquakes that caused some of its nuclear plants to blow up. We had touched on the topic of radiation from Japan in class. There is not much significant use of irony or satire as it just raises awareness of the danger of Japan's foods.
