This cartoon is unique because of how it tells the story of using comic strips with story narratives in the Majapahit era, but always have issues in the present. Visually, the Panji Koming Cartoon is very interesting to be studied into pieces because of the way the story is told using the style of comic strip expression, which means that there are panels and combinations of words and images in conveying messages. Furthermore the message presented through a combination of pictures and words is also interesting to be revealed because, first, this cartoon is not only known to be critical, but also on point.
