Culturology recently wrote about the problem of unemployment among university graduates. However, not only yesterday's students, but also seasoned specialists are often thrown off the creditworthiness ship (in the case of astronauts, from the spacecraft). American cartoonists know how Barack Obama is going to solve the problem from the inside, what is the vertical mobility of the unemployed and what optimistic conclusions can be drawn from the signs with the words "Rent" and "Bankrupt".
1. Calm, only calm!
"I will work for food," reads a sign in the hands of a former office worker. The call for calm a la Carlson had an effect on him, and the unemployed finally calmed down. The cartoonist Jeff Koterba observed a picture of human longsuffering.
2. Large crocodile
Alarmists have no place here, and Barack Obama is confident that he can solve the problem of unemployment: "Calm down … I am developing a plan to attack it." Apparently, the cunning plan will begin to come true when the jaws close. Will the American president solve the problem, so to speak, from the inside? Place your bets. New Jonah in the womb of a large crocodile - this is the plot of modern Scripture. American cartoonist Jimmy Margulies knows what toothy unemployment looks like.
3. I want to be an astronaut “In the future, I want to be an astronaut,” says the boy in the cartoon by Michael Ramirez enthusiastically. The same is the dream of the gloomy shuttle crew member after the collapse of the space program.
Maybe even in space there is no problem of unemployment? The character of American cartoonist Larry Wright can become a gardener on Mars - just let the aliens whistle.
4. Up the stairs that lead all the way there
The unemployed also have their own vertical mobility - albeit of a special kind. You can only climb the corporate ladder in order to receive unemployment benefits, since it is issued on the floor above. Politically Correct Mobility was invented by cartoonist David Fitzsimmons.
5. The signs are attacking!
On the doors and windows of all offices ominous signs appear: "For sale", "Closed", "Rent", "Employees are not needed", "Bankrupt", "Premises for rent", "Looking for a tenant"? It turns out that at least the tabular industry is on the rise. It means that we have a road there. American cartoonist Jeff Stahler took his character to a sign shop.

The Japanese released a new 3D cartoon about Cheburashka and Gena: Soviet cartoon heroes gnaw bamboo and change clothes
The reincarnation of Cheburashka and Gena the Crocodile, so beloved by Soviet children and already a little forgotten in our time, took place. And it happened again in Japan. Recall that 17 years ago, the Japanese company SP International bought the rights to the cult Soviet cartoon from our Soyuzmultfilm until 2023. And it was in the country of samurai, and not in our country, that the continuation of the story about the beloved Soviet cartoon heroes came out 10 years ago. Yesterday, in honor of the anniversary of this event, the Japanese presented the premiere of new
No Places: Caricatures of Unemployment Among Yesterday's Graduates
“We need employees with work experience,” they often write in job advertisements. Here is just where to get this experience, if all firms require shot sparrows, and not everyone will take yellow-horns right after graduation. Yesterday's graduates are starting to spin as they can. Their pirouettes are taken on a pencil - no, employers not interested in young personnel, but witty artists. Cartoons on the theme of unemployment among yesterday's university graduates often repeat the motive "I will work for food."
One million coffee beans. One World, One Family, One Coffee: another mosaic of Saimir Strati
This Albanian maestro, multiple "record holder" for mosaics, Saimir Strati, has already been met by the readers of Culturology.Ru on the pages of the site. It was he who created a painting of 300,000 screws and a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci from nails, and also laid out images from corks and toothpicks. And the new mosaic, on which the author is working today, probably cost him more than one hundred cups of strong aromatic coffee, since he lays it out from a million coffee beans
Scandalous glory of the cartoon "Last year's snow was falling": How the censors almost brought the director to a heart attack
The cartoon by Alexander Tatarsky about a foolish peasant who went into the forest in search of a Christmas tree has been an indispensable attribute of the New Year holidays for 35 years. Today it is difficult to imagine why in the 1980s. Tatarsky's humor was not just not appreciated, but did not even want to release the cartoon on screens. After accusations of Russophobia and mockery of the Soviet people, the author found himself in a pre-infarction state
