Type(s) of humour
Analogy, Wordplay
A cation is introduced first with a pun as the word “cat” is part of the word and it is further used to tie the happy cat depicted and cation together to form an association that both are positive. Meanwhile anion is similar in spelling to onion so it is compared in this aspect. The picture of a crying onion helps the audience link anion with the unhappy image and think of anion as negative.
