This cartoon talks about the different types of "wine". We know that there is wine that you drink, and we know about "whine", which is when there's something you don't want to do. The man in the cartoon owns the wine storr of course. The boy is whining about his math homework, and the cat just looks sick in the picture. You could take this cartton two ways. You could take this as a cartoon talking about how kids whine about certain things, because they are not happy about doing something. My mom would tell me when i whine " would you like some cheese with that wine". People whine about stuff. Everybody has at least whined once, but it's not a very good habit to have. This cartoon could be talking about how people are drinking at such a young age. It shows how much people can really care about this issue, or not care at all. The cat is a symbol of people who don't really care about the issue, and just keep drinking. The boy represents a person who has not been a part of this issue, but is willing to give it a try to see what it's like. I think this cartoon gives two very good messages, and both of these make think about things before we do them.
