It is used to describe the opposite of what it is. The cartoonist uses a form of situational and visual irony in this drawing. Visual irony sends us the opposite message to what we expect. Therefore, the idea that the Environmental Protection Agency single-handedly created the Animus River pollution and ignored the Flint River pollution shows us how the EPA's actions are opposite of what they are expected to be. Visual irony is found in the caption describing the man's thoughts. According to them, tap water in Michigan is not high enough in toxic metals to be considered dangerous. The text in the caption contradicts the visual image of the water in the following way: it says “It looks nice to me” while we see the running tap water being dirty and not clear. By knowing the context and meaning of the labels, the public will be able to easily grasp the message of the social issue represented by this cartoon. The artist uses different techniques in the comic to make it more emotional and attract the audience's attention. Water pollution problems should be solved immediately because they have harmful effects on people's lives
