Abstract/Summary

The purpose of this study is to look into the themes and devices used on comic strips before and after the February Revolution. Assuming that comic strips do reflect Filipino realities, its findings serve to provide a description of society's condition at these times. With the findings, it hopes to contribute to the fields of Psychology and Cartooning. Using the comic strips of Filipino Cartoonists in the Manila Bulletin, this investigation on themes reveals the predominance of political themes. However, differences in periods are evident. Before the four-day revolt, themes of cultural relevance seems to have predominated. It was only after the revolution that concern over political issues intensified. In terms of devices, Sarcasm is the most often used.
