VISUAL PROPOSAL

Jen Sorensen is an editorial cartoonist fond of four-panel spreads with political messages. The medium requires that messages be expressed economically, so Sorensen uses broad strokes to criticize a proposal affecting student loans.

Only one character in Sorensen’s cartoon “Loan Bone” speaks. What do her words suggest about possible real solutions to the problem of student debt? You may want to compare the brief proposal here to the more extended visual argument by Matt Bors.
