Selected Cartoon
Latte Raffinato

Man is thirsty and knows what is tasty. His dirty hand squeezes the northern hemisphere like an emaciated lemon.Oil squirts languidly from the precious fruit into the well-filled glass, the brown gold oozes from the fingers. Half of it goes awry and forms desolate puddles. The "Black Juice" by Matteo Bertelli from Italy, a cartoon artist painting in the style of the old masters, is refined in every respect. He emblematises the exploitation of nature by man and raises the agonising question of what is yet to be squeezed, when there is nothing left.

Member		Well, panzer, I think it's not about what hemisphere is displayed as the world, it's symbolic. And I think it doesn't matter who squeezes the world. But I understand your concerns, panzer. By the way — it is a great illustration, matteo! prinzparadox, on May 15, 2008 [report post] [quote] [reply]
