Reflection on irony

The main visual elements of this cartoon is the writing at the bottom and the three people sitting areound the table. Mostly the little boy aswell because both of his parents are staring right at him. This gives the immediate idea that they are talking to him. This cartoon is about irony and how it is used all the time. He I beleive thinks that irony is quite funny and that it is used alot. I think that he thinks it is funny because of the underlining in the writing. And because that is what the whole cartoon is based around. This cartoon is ironic because rather than just telling his parents quickly what he did at school today and wating maybe thirty seconds of his day. He decides to tell them to read his blog wasting 10 minutes of their day. This shows irony because it is also opposite thoughts. This cartoon is also ironic because of how it shows that in the present day we resort to using the tecknology for doing just about everything for us. And in this cartoon they are even talking for us. It relates to technology because it shows how we rely on technology for everything. I think to make the cartoon more persuasive the cartoonist should make the parents look more outraged.
