Abstract

This study focuses on the role of cartoons as a medium of communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the past, cartoons were considered as illustrations that were only used for children's education because they had a funny and fun impression. In subsequent developments, cartoons became a critical communication medium for various social problems that occurred in society. This critical communication media is often found in newspapers, magazines, tabloids and others. During the COVID-19 pandemic, cartoons have become a medium of communication to provide education to the public regarding health protocols. Aside from being a medium for educating health protocols, cartoons are also widely used as a medium of communication about the introduction of the corona virus, the dangers of covid-19 and vaccines. The lack of research on cartoons as an educational medium makes this research interesting. The descriptive qualitative methodology used by observing and referential data related to cartoons shows that cartoons are a very communicative educational medium. This can be seen in the cartoon media that displays local identities so that people can understand them well. Keywords: Cartoon, Communication Media, Covid-19 Pandemic, Educational Media
