ViewsAmerica by Cartoon Movement-US for October 15, 2009

Ohoh, yet another Austrian cartoon :-S

Cranes way below look like crosses…I see Calvary mount or just a plain ol’ cemetary? Obama is rising above though, on a construction site…building peace. The Nobel is not an anchor here, it is the helping hand.

His countryman at the conservative Wiener Zeitung in today’s ViewsEurope disagrees, see here, Ammer sees the Nobel as dragging the “Messiah walking on water” down as a lead weight into the water’s depths.

Very interesting perspectives from the same country

Is this perhaps based on some famous painting that I’m not familiar with?

This one will interest BCS.

^ why, puppy?

Because of the water-color!

yes, I did notice the water color, but the execution of what I gather is a tool belt is lacking … at first glance, it looked like a golf bag …. what the hick is he doing with a golf bag on top of a crane, i wondered. I still like water color presentation, though.

And the Nobel prize destroys the majestic calm of the acrobatic swing across the vista…

I wonder if Libs get queasy when they see one man portrayed so superlatively? Of course it could be done in an ironic sense; but I don’t get that from it. This ‘toon portrays the Messiah presiding over the “greening” of the industrialized hills…a new Libocratic Utopia where we can have every convenience of modern life without the waste produced from it and the consumption of precious resources it entails…

Would it be churlish of me to try that outmoded method of teaching a pup not to mess on the floor? (i.e. shoving his/her nose in it)

sigh Yes, yes it would be.

Ah don’t worry pup. I’m sure outside of the political context, we’d probably get along.

Howie, they look more like golf clubs than anything else
