Summary/Abstract: The tendency in Ivorian society to play down or laugh at a phenomenon considered serious or important is growing. It can reveal, apart from a trivialization of the facts, a particular rhetoric in order to achieve a particular objective, which is surely to draw attention to a fact or simply to raise awareness. This study is an essay on the analysis of press cartoons on migration. The press cartoon takes its source in the comic strip, a genre of paraliterature, which can too quickly be classified in a “sub-literature”.
