Wiley's cartoon takes a comic tone to mock the misguided attacks at society often observed by those who write lettors to the editor, with the intention to position regular readers of newspapers to disregard these opinion pieces. The cartoon's board of topics engaged by the letters to the editor, the tabs portray a barrage of absurd and inane suggestions such as "tofu", "cartoons", and "anchovies", positioning the viewers share the artist's critical opinion that the authors of letters to the editor rarely take on valid contentions. The card with the title "Everything! (throw again)" mimics the cards of a board game, suggesting that the arguments presented by these letters are trivial, complaining for the sake of it, and are thus not worth the viewer's attention. Supplementing this, the title at the top of the board, showing the issue of "today", suggests that these argumenters are fickle in the subject of their commentary, and change on a daily basis. This reinforces Wiley's comment on the shallow nature of the letters. The figure, supposedly the writer, throws darts with a hand over her eyes. Wiley alludes to the incompetence of the authors, condemning the randomness of their protestations and lack of sufficient knowledge to carry trough a credible argument. In addition, the aimless darts around the board moreover convey the ineptitude of the writers, with the intention to discredit the reliability of these opinion pieces and therefore engender distrust within the viewers. Implicitly, the haphazardness of the darts signifies that these opinion pieces rarely engage te heart of the issue, and are thus unworthy of viewers' attention. Cumulatively, Wiley's image sardonically imparts the notion that the authors of the letters to the editor are blindly attacking concepts that bear little relevence to the function of society; newspaper readers, likely those interested in engaging opinions and events, are likely to be repelled from reading these sections.
