The technical mastery of these comics are not particularly impressive, but their messages can be quite consciousness confirming. Would you classify these as art?

Yes, of course. It is the genre art of the comic, which mixes words and images.

I don't think cartoons qualify as "fine art". They are illustrations, that is to say, they illustrate a concept (political, humorous, etc.)This is not to say that some don't exhibit great expressiveness and/or technical skill(Hal Foster of "Prince Valiant" comes to mind), but they operate on a different, lower level than do the great artists of the past.
