Show vs. Telling

For my group project, my group will be collaborating political commentary and animated cartoons to show the political influences that cartoons these days have on the public. I guess the basic way to describe the difference between show and telling in accordance to our project is to examine the components of the project. The political cartoons will be the 'showing' aspect of the movie. The news commentary will be the 'telling' component of the movie. News are able to relay messages through words, hence the commentary. Cartoons such as Family Guy or Boondocks are able to relay these same messages through visuals such as animated figures. Both aspects will be a contrast/comparison of each other
