Rumors about the end of the world, as always, were greatly exaggerated. But we waited so long! How many cartoons on the theme of Doomsday could be … 89-year-old Harold Camping from California had already prophesied that the Apocalypse would come on a quiet Saturday evening, and there would not be enough tickets to paradise for everyone. According to the American preacher, only 2% of people (mainly his followers) should have gained eternal bliss. But the calculations of Harold Camping turned out to be wrong (and not for the first time: the end of the world "planned" by him for 1994 also failed). In the meantime, everyone amicably advises the would-be prophet to retrain as meteorologists, the artists who escaped from the fiery hell draw cartoons on the theme of the never-ending end of the world.
1. Art skepticism
American cartoonist Joe Heller commented on the predictions of the sectarians as follows: "Do not publish this drawing until May 22" (the end of the world, we recall, was scheduled for the 21st).
2. The End of Light
"The end is near!" - the inscription is too laconic, and in this case there can be a lot of interpretations. What exactly does the next contender for prophets mean? Apocalypse? Debt Loan? Or maybe Republican Newt Gingrich's campaign? All these interpretations were invented by Rob Rogers.
3. Opracalypsis
You need to prioritize things right, says American cartoonist Jeff Stahler: "The world is going to end on Saturday." "Don't Be Dumb: End of the World on the Day of Oprah's Last Show." That is, in principle, Oprakalypsis is about to come: the last program of the famous TV presenter goes on the air today. Repent, or something.
4. The second coming of Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris once again did not give humanity an offense. Perhaps the organizers of the Day of Judgment simply did not send the hero an invitation to paradise. So he, the poor man, had to figure it out, intervene and stop the disgrace for a full hour, of course, with the use of his signature roundhouse kick. Cartoonist Jeremy Nell has seen it himself.
5. It's never too late
“If you missed the ascension, we are still working,” reads an ad near a certain religious building. And there, you see, some more Apocalypse will arrive, which we will be afraid of together. The doomsday cartoon was drawn by Randy Bish.

The hardships of the eared symbol of fertility do not leave indifferent people who are sharp in tongue and pencil. So they draw cartoons on the theme of the past Christian holiday and its pagan symbols - a rabbit and painted eggs

However, this was not always the case
