This article presents a proposal for the analysis of political cartoons and memes, from the systemic-functional perspective. It describes the semiotic choices that indicate how these texts are constructed, the relations between text and context, and the modes of discursive representation of the world and the reader. Although there is a large and growing body of research from the Sydney School into multimodal genres, there are still studies to be done on non-academic and multimodal genres, such as those to be described, that can extend the spectrum of genres to be taught and learned in school.
