+The cartoon by Wilcox, titled _NSW Govt pill-testing unit_, is satirical and light-hearted yet also imparts a firm message. The artist conveys an interpretation of the current method of "post-mortem" pill testing, showing a dead body presumably killed by a lethal drug. This may evoke strong emotions in some people, particularly those who have a personal connection to the issue. The presence and facial expressions of the parents also accentuate this. However, there is also a humorous element which is intended to ridicule the current pill testing system, calling for a more comprehensive method. The absurdity of the situation is emphasised with the word "emergency" above the door, showing the context. This is furthered by the styling of the hospital bed and clothing of the doctor. Lastly, the sketchy style and the abundance of pastel colours in the cartoon clarifies its purpose, refining its role as a satirical yet stil communicative article.
