This political cartoon created in 2013 by Gary Varvel of the Indianapolis Star takes on another highly controversial issue in today’s society, global warming. There are two very polarizing sides to this debate. Individuals either believe that it does exist and is a very serious threat to society or that it doesn’t exist and everyone is simply overreacting. This cartoon takes on a humorous display of these differing opinions by showcasing Global Warming depicted as the Monster and the apathetic nature of society that dismisses it. This relates to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as many characters throughout the novel dismissed the Monster until it was too late to change what they had created as a result of their actions.
