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 break the paper).
1. Papamobile
What could be better than a family vacation? Anything. A lighthouse hotel at the end of the world will also do, where you will not have to rush to the park in the heat, you will not have to feed anyone with ice cream, drink lemonade, entertain with a game of Monopoly and have a picnic on the lawn with provisions that you dragged along the whole day. like characters from cartoonist Cameron Cardow. The father of the family thinks that it’s time for him to go on vacation: he’s tired of having a rest, poor fellow.
2. Another vacation
"This is us in the queue at the airport … And this is us in the queue for car rental … In the queue at the amusement park … In the queue for photos." Isn't it an enviable pastime? I just want to ask: was there a vacation? Hundreds of vacationers are fighting for a place in the southern sun - traffic jams and queues are inevitable, says cartoonist Jeff Stahler.
3. Have we arrived yet?
It takes a long time to go on vacation in a car, and due to the traditional summer increase in gasoline prices, it is also expensive. There is, as always, a way out. American cartoonist J. D. Crowe offers a couch car simulator. Now you will not be confused by children's questions like "Have we arrived yet?" and will not baffle the whining "I want home-oh-oh". Net profit!
4. Refueling the horses
“The times are always the same,” said one wonderful old film. Only now everyone is frightened by the rise in gasoline prices, and two hundred years ago, the horses were “fueled” with hay and oats. A witty scene from the good old days was portrayed by cartoonist Dave Granlund.
5. Desktop tour
For those who do not have a vacation yet, and will only have to sunbathe under office fluorescent lamps, the Slovak cartoonist Martin Sutovec invites you to relax right on your desktop. But not in the sense of snoring on the keyboard, but at least putting a picture with the sea on the desktop. Attention! If it seems to you that the character in the photo is squinting at the folders and documents "Work", "Clients", "Urgent", "Unfinished" - you urgently need to go on vacation!

There is sand, but no sea: an amazing summer vacation at Playa de Gulpiyuri in Spain
Who of us, arriving at the sea, did not while away the evenings on the beach, watching the pink disc of the sun slowly sink over the horizon, painting everything in warm purple tones, or in the midday heat did not see off a white yacht going to the very edge where the sea merges with the sky. Tourists who come to rest in the town of Llanes, located on the northern coast of Spain, have both sea water and a beach, but only there is no horizon. The trick is that Playa de Gulpiyuri is located
The Dow Jones Rollercoaster: Foreign Cartoonists on the Stock Market Crash
Last week, there was a massive crash in the world's stock markets, 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 the pencils and began to draw how lightning bolts from the graphs hit the right and the wrong on the head, Dow Jones crucifies John Doe, and bulls and bears ride dizzy
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

August is coming to an end, which means that schoolchildren will very soon sit down at their desks and write essays about how they spent the summer.
