Over the last years, creativity has gained great value in all spheres related to language use, in discourse and multimodal discourse studies for example. Therefore, this study examines the close relationship between creativity and multimodal discourse through the analysis of three political caricatures published during 2019’s Algerian protests in the Algerian newspaper “El-bilad”, following Peirce’s triadic model of sign (1903) and multimodal discourse analysis. The results of the analysis reveal that the caricaturist has creatively used various signs to accentuate the meaning of the drawings; thus, it can be observed that any multimodal discourse is contingent upon the notion of creativity.
