Philosophically, the creator used a giant to represent ISIS and also to symbolize its national security threat power as a “junior varsity”. An entity of such magnitude would discourage others due to the massive power it wields. The creator of the cartoon also uses pathos through the secret service agent and Obama. The secret service agent can be seen very worried and troubled by the giant's size despite being considered a "junior". Obama shows a lack of interest in the giant and believes that he does not pose a threat because he turns his back on the giant.
