An annual frenzy called the "pre-Christmas sale" has begun in the United States. Stores attract customers to their networks, customers willingly go to the distributed networks themselves. Many Americans spend this month all of their savings from the previous year. The stores sell everything that has been gathering dust on the shelves since last Christmas. But the buying rush this year was still slightly different from all the previous ones. American cartoonists turned their attention to these differences.
Christo Komarnitski showed the essence of Christmas simply and unobtrusively by placing Santa Claus and reindeer in supermarket trolleys.
Artist Brian Fairrington jokes about such a hot topic as the global financial crisis. At his work, a falling economic graph hits the shopping cart.
But cartoonist Rob Rogers was prompted by the Occupy Wal-Mart campaign.
"Protest against capitalism? Are you swollen? We're waiting for the store to open" is another recent joke from David Fitzsimmons, who loves hot topics in his work. Suffice it to recall his cartoons about the problem of unemployment or the murder of Osama bin Laden.
Cartoonist Rick McKee decided to go back to the origins of the holiday. In his drawing, one of the Magi, referring to others, says: "Guys, this was the last time I allowed you to persuade myself to buy on Black Friday."

Changes in the social network Facebook (Facebook) through the eyes of cartoonists
Changes in Facebook occur from year to year. Is it good or bad? People chained to the account, like convicts to cannonballs, get used to the design and options. And if the cozy one changes, you have to settle in the virtual space again and figure out what's what. This can be unsettling. In addition, users are worried about whether Facebook will now invade their personal territory, whether the photo gallery of skeletons from the closet will get public commenting. Foreign cartoonists share their observations
These eyes are opposite Incredible macro shots of Shikhei Goh insect eyes
"Macro addict" - this is how the talented photographer Shikhei Goh calls himself. Among dozens of series of amazing landscapes and plants of the island of Batam, where the photographer comes from, among hundreds of photographs of turtles, lizards and birds, a portfolio consisting of macro photographs of insects stands apart. In particular, their huge, alien eyes, which the author singled out as a separate series of Insect Eyes
Another fell asleep at work: the everyday life of air traffic controllers through the eyes of cartoonists
The air traffic controller must ensure the safe movement of aircraft, Wikipedia and common sense tell us. But keeping vigilant control over what is happening in the air, oh, how difficult it is. In the works of cartoonists, the idea is traced that we are all not without sin: how not to fall asleep at the service in the silence of the night? So the English-language analogue of our expression "sleeps like a firefighter" - "sleeps like an air traffic controller"
Double Decker on fire: riots in London through the eyes of cartoonists
Last week, a song about the Great Fire of London, "London's burning", suddenly became relevant. The world admired the riots in the streets, looting and their happy suppression. The flaming double decker from the caricature of the Austrian Petar Pismestrovic is not fictional. But now, when the capital is out of danger, and workers are removing barriers from supermarkets, we can give the floor to cartoonists from all over the world, who created more resourceful
