About the dead - either good or nothing. But apparently not this time. After all, what to do with all those political cartoons that appeared in the world press after Barack Obama made a pretentious speech about the death of the main villain of our time? An ironic look at the sensational news - in the works of foreign cartoonists.
1. Difficulties of the operation
"The last time he saw Osama was when he was crawling for a cobblestone." Finding a terrorist in a black room would be easier, hints cartoonist Jeff Parker.
2. Thanks to President Obama for our happy childhood
The Commander-in-Chief's merit in capturing the enemy of the American people is that he took the lead on time and, when the operation was ready, said: “Okie-doki, kill,” ironically the master of political caricature Gary McCoy.
3. Donald the unbeliever
David Fitzsimmons plays on the distrustfulness of American businessman Donald Trump. He was eager to see the birth certificate of Barack Obama. Trump doubted (and not he alone, but, judging by the polls, and a sixth of the US population) that the current American president was really born in the state of Hawaii.
The political rationale is that people who are not born in the United States have no right to occupy the warm chair of the president, and Donald Trump really wants to get into it - perhaps even with his feet. The conflict, which gave rise to dozens of political cartoons, seems to have been exhausted, but can the love for the publication of socially important documents pass away? A number of American cartoonists joked about Donald Trump demanding a death certificate for Osama bin Laden.
4. Hellish mall
Revenge is usually served cold. But only if it's not in hell: there, apparently, there are no climate control systems or refrigerators. For almost 10 years, the Underworld Trade Center was built for Osama bin Laden in the underworld, gloating Dave Granlund.
5. Without Osama as without paws
Al Qaeda beheaded - hurray hurray? Not at all, says Swedish cartoonist Olle Johansson. Now it looks more like an angry monster, which only had its paw cut off. Of course, the limb of a giant lizard is not a tail, but the place of the main villain of our time is never empty.
