Abstract
Cartoons are also common features of Nigerian print media of which newspapers, magazines and books are inclusive. However, most Nigerians do not fully understand the meanings of newspaper cartoons. This article attempts to shed light on the issues by discussing types of cartoons, and categories of cartoon themes. It reveals that newspaper cartoon themes are usually based on news materials, which from the context of mass communication, may require some knowledge of current affairs for their understanding. It concludes that the low visual literacy level of majority of Nigerians has deprived them of the knowledge of reading cartoons, understanding their communication modes, and hence appreciating and enjoying newspaper cartoons.
