This is done as it has been observed that Mngadi employs different types of sentences, in quite an artistic manner, in his works. The types of sentences to be considered include simple sentences, compound sentences and complex sentences. Each type will be defined and then applied to the relevant cartoons, revealing how it is used. The cartoons to be considered will be provided as part of the discussion, to illustrate where the sentences are found. The different sections of this paper are: Introduction, Simple sentences, Compound sentences and Complex sentences. A concluding remark will be provided towards the end of the article. The concepts of ‘cartoon’ and ‘sentence’ will be defined as part of the introductory section of the discourse.
