This cartoon was created by Taylor Jones on November 22, 2013 and was published on the website Cagle. This cartoon was published fifty years after Kennedy was assassinated. Jones is showing how he feels Kennedy stacked up to the two presidents before and after him. Two questions to consider along with the questions below would be how much did Kennedy's assassination contribute to the interpretation shown in the before and after cartoon? And Was Kennedy really that much better than the other presidents shown and why does Jones feel this way?
