One Cartoon Deserves Another


Like Al Manar, Telesur runs political cartoons on its website regularly. Lately there’s been a running theme about a kind of villainous capitalist, poisoning the world economy through greed and corruption. Generally, the ‘villain’ is heavyset, dressed in black and, in the most recent cartoon (left) he’s got a big nose and sharp fangs. The caption reads “This one is mine” and shows the cigar-chomping capitalist cutting down ‘wages’- the branch he’s sitting on- not realizing apparently that he’s gonna go down with it.
