ABSTRACT This essay explores the way in which the political cartooning of Lalo Alcaraz and Eric J. García uses parody and satire, the stylistic linchpins of the genre, to help their followers process and cope with the physical and social disease brought on by the COVID-19 global pandemic. From their distinctly Chicanx perspectives, Alcaraz’s and García’s cartoons chronicle the way in which U.S. imperialism and neo-liberal socio-economic policies impact marginalized communities at home and around the globe, not only in their combination of text and image in their panels and strips, but also in the transcultural symbolism they draw from to depict U.S. politics and society. Because of the social artivism in which this work engages, it serves as a powerful shaping device, helping followers to process and cope with difficult realities while symbolically countering dominator discourse.

摘要 本文探讨了 Lalo Alcaraz 和 Eric J. García 的政治漫画如何使用模仿和讽刺（该类型的文体关键）来帮助其追随者处理和应对 COVID- 19 全球大流行。从他们独特的 Chicanx 角度来看，Alcaraz 和 García 的漫画记录了美帝国主义和新自由主义社会经济政策影响国内和全球边缘化社区的方式，而不仅仅是在他们的面板和条带中组合文本和图像，而且在他们用来描绘美国政治和社会的跨文化象征主义中也是如此。由于这项工作所涉及的社会艺术主义，它可以作为一种强大的塑造工具，
