The enormous footprint shows the extent of the damage.

Explanation:

This cartoon is effective because it shows the magnitude of the Deep Horizons oil spill and the environmental disaster that the spill caused in the Gulf of Mexico.

The size of the footprint is emphasizing that this was not a small spill that had few or no consequences, but rather was a massive ecological disaster that impacted extensive areas of the Gulf and damaged the habitats of many different species of animals.
