The cartograms are explanatory; your blogger cartoon is simple and amusing and describes a culture - blogging - that is modern, global and technology based. If you were to mix in more ingrained (national, religious, gender or linguistic ) cultural elements, you would run the risk of getting lots of visits but for the wrong reasons.
Cross-cultural satire doesn't work very well, for example: look at the Danes and their Mohammed cartoons (different languages + different cultures) or The New Yorker with Michelle and Terrorist Obama burning the US flag in the Oval Office (same language, different social cultures).
Neither of them worked outside of their cultural contexts and neither contained any words, as far as I can remember.
