The source is Thomas Nast in the Harpers Weekly. Published on january 6th 1872. The main idea is that Bosweed is holding back the states, and that hes a bad man. I agree with this cartoon, he has stolen lied and sheated.

This political cartoon was published by thomas Nast on January 6,1872 in harper’s weekly. The main idea of this cartoon is that boss tweed is holding the states in the prison and just taking their money every day. The giant theif symbolized boss tweed and the dwarf is the one whos getting his money taken away from him. I disagree with this poliotical cartoon strongly.

I disagree. People should have the right to know about the people who stole their money.

This cartoon was drawn by Thomas Nast and published on Janurary 6, 1872 to the Harpers Weekly. The main idea of this cartoon was to show that he was above the law, and everything else. I agree with this message because he did have a scary power over people and he was above the law and there wasn’t much that could or would stop him.

The source of this article is from Thomas Nast. Harpers weakly.january 6,1872. The main idea is showing boss Tweed as a thief and he is stealing from peaple. The sympols that are used are a giant and a dwarf and tweed is stealing from the dwarf. I agree boss tweed stole from alot of peaple.

the sorce of this cartoon is from thomas nast,january 6,1872.the main idea was that Harper Weakly though he was above the law.the symbol was him being bigger then the police.No i dont agree with this cartoon because he was above the law and i didnt think anyone should be above the law.

I believe that Thomas Nast explained that Boss Tweed hadn’t been caught by saying “Can the law reach him?” metaphorically. I think the whole point of this is to show that Boss Tweed is getting away with crimes.

it is silly how they let this mans power get out of hand and how much money he stold from tax payers with out them notising
November 20, 2008 at 1:58 pm |
The artist of this cartoon is thomas nast and the source os this cartoon is Harper’s Weekly. It was made in January 6,1872. The main idea of this cartoon is that people should give their money and do what Boss tweed says. Look up to him as a hero. The symbols that are being used are Boss tweed and two samller guys that look up to him trying to say something but he won’t listen. I disagree with this message because people should keep their things such as money and not have to give them to anybody else.
November 20, 2008 at 2:00 pm |
I disagree with the message because no one is above the law
November 20, 2008 at 4:34 pm |
Thomas Nast’s cartoon published this cartoon in 1872. I find if funny and true. The main idea is that “Boss” Tween was untouchable and could do what ever he wanted. He used hight and size as his simbols of power.
November 20, 2008 at 4:35 pm |
this cartoon is by Thomas Nast of the Harpers Weekly on Janurary 6th, 1872. the main idea is that tweed wants everyones money and is to big for this law, using dwarfs. the sybol is funny and Tweed being a giant and bigger than the police or law. this is also scar because there aws nothing anyone could do about him and some people really did have much power over others.
November 20, 2008 at 4:39 pm |
I disagree with this political cartoon because how can one man have so much power. But he did so i guess im wrong!
November 20, 2008 at 4:41 pm |
The symbols used are a jiant and a dwarf .I agree with this cartoon Tweed is a thief.
November 20, 2008 at 4:43 pm |
This cartoon was published in the Harper’s Weekly by Thomas Nast in 1862. The main idea of the cartoon is to say that Tweed is like a giant who wants to control everybody and everyone.The symbols are the man who is in jail and the policeman. I agree with this cartoon because the man in jail and the policeman are like minorities compared to Tweed.
November 20, 2008 at 4:44 pm |
This man is taking money from people, and throwing people in jail. He is a greedy man.
November 20, 2008 at 4:45 pm |
The source of this cartoon is Thomas Nast. Harpers Weekly. Made on January 6, 1872.
November 20, 2008 at 4:48 pm |
The main idea of this caroon is that Tweed is so “BIG” in money he becomes big in person! Hes steeling all of peoples money! People all over work for him and hes just taking everyones money.
November 20, 2008 at 4:48 pm |
The sorce of this cartoon is Thomas Nast. Harpers Weekly Made on January 6,1872. The symbols that are used are that he doesnt care about other people and he is bigger and bader than anybody.
November 20, 2008 at 4:49 pm |
The symbols used in this pic is how big Tweed is in money the person who drew this drew him as a big person and big in money.
November 20, 2008 at 4:50 pm |
It may be hard to understsand the message behind this cartoon but the symbol is size. Size, in this picture is being compared to power in the real life. Thomas Tweed has much power, in this case he is large in the picture. unlike the prisoner, which is small because he has very little power .This cartoon started out in Harpers Weekly and now is in many museums around the world. 🙂

The source of this picture is Thomas Nast. Harpers weekly. made on January 6,1872. The symbols of this picture are two men.
November 20, 2008 at 4:52 pm |
I agree with Harpers Weekly because Tweed taking everyones money that they work hard for and they only get half their money and Tweed gets the rest. Talk about rich hes beyoned rich!
November 20, 2008 at 4:58 pm |
the artist is thomar nast and the sorce is the harpers weekly and it was made on january 6 1872
November 20, 2008 at 4:59 pm |
The source of this cartoon is Thomas Nast. Harpers Weekly. January 6, 1872.
The main idea of this article is showing that “Boss” Tweed has more power then the other people and that the prisoner has no power.
The symbol used in this article is “boss” tweed as a giant and all the other men as regular people.
I disagree with this article because i think all people should have qual rights and power.

I agree with this cartoon. It is questioning weather or not Boss Tweed is above the law. He (Boss Tweed) thinks he is, but hes wrong.In fact, the social studies textbook (Reconstructing America) said that he was arrested for his crimes and died in prison at the ripe age of 55.
November 20, 2008 at 8:42 pm |
I completely agree with this cartoon. Boss Tweed was a conniving thief, and he had absolutely no right to steal the people of New York’s money. The fact that he became so powerful that not even the Law could catch him and throw him in jail is a scary thought. Imagine if a politician became that powerful today!

This cartoon was drawn by Thomas Nast, and was published in The Harper’s Weekly on January 6, 1872. The main idea of this cartoon is to show that most Americans didn’t try to bring Boss Tweed (the very tall and plump man) to justice for cheating them out of their money (Most Americans didn’t realize that he was cheating them, and many of those who knew were too afraid to try to bring him to justice, or were bribed into not trying to). The symbols used in this cartoon is a plump giant to represent the villainous Boss Tweed, and a policeman dwarfed by Boss Tweed’s size represents justice feebly trying to capture the giant. I agree with the message of this cartoon, because it did take quite a while for the Dwarf to capture the Giant…for Boss Tweed to be brought to justice.
