Last week, there was a massive crash in global stock exchanges, which made even those who would not distinguish Dow Jones from John Doe to think about the financial well-being. Panic or not, each of us will be prompted by temperament, and meanwhile a portion of fun will not hurt anyone. Therefore, a detachment of foreign cartoonists urgently sharpened pencils and began to draw how lightning strikes the right and the wrong from the graphs, Dow Jones crucifies John Doe, and bulls and bears ride a dizzying roller coaster.
1. Thunder and lightning
The weather on the world markets leaves much to be desired: Dow Zeus is throwing thunder and lightning, and the decline in quotations hits the poor bulls (cartoonist Daryl Cagle himself saw it). And for the Mexican Dario Castillejos, the situation evokes Old Testament allusions: Noah's ark of the world economy will wander across the ocean of crisis for a long time to come.
2. Big sale
One of the reasons for the stock market turmoil is the huge external debt of the United States, which they may not be able to handle. Does this mean that the country is facing a total dollar sale, as suggested by the American cartoonist R. J. Matson? Even in this case, the currency can find a worthy use: use the faces of presidents as bookmarks for books or paste over the walls with wallpaper made of dollars.
3. Branch of Hell
Cartoonist Dave Granlund has decided to give a free geography lesson to anyone who doesn't know where the famous Wall Street is. The street on which the New York Stock Exchange is located turned out to be slightly lower than the characters in the picture expected. But the devils and the cartoonists clearly know better.
4. Calm, only calm
"Come to think of it, this is not a crash, Henderson … This is just a small fluctuation in the market," - says after a colleague euphemist. But in that case, Henderson did not commit suicide, but only went out to smoke. Through the window. The author of the sad picture on the stock theme is Canadian Cameron Cardow.
5. Roller coaster
But let's wrap up on a fun note with cartoonist Jeff Parker. The Dow Jones Amusement Park has launched a new exciting attraction - a roller coaster. Bulls and bears rush merrily from a great height, and nothing distracts them from the dizzying fun, not even the look of horror on the faces of investors. Gaudeamus!

15 foreign films that Russian viewers liked more than foreign ones
Sometimes it happens that foreign films receive a much warmer welcome in Russia than in their homeland. This, of course, does not mean that they are not watched there at all, but they are rated much worse. It is not uncommon for our film to be considered a cult film, but in native places the score is below average. In Russia, the rating is mainly determined using an assessment on "Kinopoisk", and abroad they are guided by "IMDb". It is believed that a good grade starts at seven points, and anything lower is already a "C". So n
Flea Market Treasures: How to Find Your Treasure at a Flea Market
Nowadays, it is not at all necessary to go on a long journey to distant continents for treasures, it is enough just to come to the local flea market. That's where the real Eldorado and Klondike are in one bottle.

Vintage crash of vintage cars. Photo series by Leslie Jones
No matter how much the older generation kept saying that “it was better before,” the facts keep repeating that it was the same before, just not with us and not about us. For example, the Boston Public Library organized an exhibition of old photographs taken at the beginning of the last century by photographer Leslie Jones, who for more than five years filmed all road accidents in Boston and its environs for the editorial office of the Herald Traveler newspaper
Time to go on vacation: foreign cartoonists on the problem of summer vacations
Beware, the doors open in the summer! The real heat has not yet come, but the calendar is already on June 1, which means it's time to go on vacation, because the season of mass vacations will begin soon. Someone is already packing up their suitcases and packing their backpacks, while someone's summer vacation, alas, is not yet shining. And about those, and about others there is something to tell to foreign cartoonists (who themselves work to tear paper)
Etude in tones of green: foreign cartoonists about Spanish cucumbers
Spanish cucumbers, of course, ended up having nothing to do with it, but they made a noise and got into jokes, which means they will be remembered for a long time. It is unlikely that in a year most people will remember the strain of bacteria EHEC, but the fact that in a cheerful company of a mad cow and flu-like pigs and poultry, everyone has already reeled on their mustache. It remains only to evaluate the work of foreign cartoonists, performed during the hype, and with a clear conscience to close the topic that has defamed the good name of Spanish cucumbers
