Long gone are the days when gasoline was sold in pharmacies as an antiseptic and fuel for primus stoves. Fuel is now a strategic product. Everyone who can export it is afraid to get too cheap, and countries that are unlucky with oil reserves, gritting their teeth, are waiting for another price hike. This spring, the rise in gasoline prices again hits the residents of Europe and the United States, and they cry with burning tears. And Western cartoonists laugh through these very tears.
1. Variegated ribbon
Whatever one may say, but fuel prices bite. So much so that the venom of a combustible snake can be fatal to a middle-class man. Spring has come, the sun has warmed up - flammable reptiles crawled out of their holes and began to secretly sting motorists. Brian Fairrington saw it himself.
2. Formula 1
What, from what, from what is our fuel made? Cartoonist Dave Granlund has discovered a secret recipe. I dictate slowly, write down: 1 part of gasoline is 9 parts of the greed of its suppliers. Such is the price-distillation process.
3. Jump in prices
Fuel prices are like rabbits: they jump often, rise quickly. And in the West, both of them are remembered every year for Easter. It is not the call of the flesh that plagues the modern Easter bunny in the spring (American Dave Granlund will not let him lie). He called himself a car enthusiast - if you please put up with all the consequences arising from the refueling pistol: “How? Have the prices inflated again ?!"
4. The best gift
Who said a book is the best gift? The paper, after all, does not burn very well. Whether it is oil. "Why was it so spent?" - a ritual phrase that flatters the donor's pride is followed by stormy joy. Well, you have to be realistic and pragmatic. Nowadays you won't surprise anyone with flowers and sweets: really hot feelings presuppose fiery gifts. The family oil idyll under the Christmas tree was spied on by Jim Borgman.
5. Two troubles
You wouldn't be chasing cheapness, man! “Since gas prices are going up, I figured it’s better to buy a small car with fuel economy. But then the season of holes began. Caricaturist Steve Breen saw the victims of the gas boom buried alive.

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

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
