Importance of Verbal Text in The Interpretation of Political Cartoons The combination of verbal and visual text plays an important role in conveying message and leaving strong impact on the minds of the people. Teachers, Media, advertising agencies etc are using this strategy to influence people and to endorse their ideas or products.
