Ah ha! When I first viewed that cartoon, it really rang a bell... and finally today I realised it seems (at least to me) to make reference to Goya's amazing painting of the Third of May: 1808. It certainly speaks the same language...
For a much clearer look at the painting click here:

You need to see it full scale however to really really appreciate it.  |

Odd. I couldn't get this on the page as an image so you have to click on this link to see this one. I guess it's rubber room time (but not for me, of course )

I know the Goya painting and do see some similarity.....I didn't realize at the time, the seeming connection. But the cause is the same, against those who'd want profit and military expansion at the price of those poor and suffering. Napoleon, Stalin, Mao, Bush....all the same in this respect of expanding the Empire through the justification that ONLY THEY can bring salvation, peace, the real deal.......quacks they were, deadly quacks....

| I think some interpretations of the Goya painting have it that the main figure (with the white shirt and his arms outstretched) is sort of a representation of Christ. |

Urgh! Igotthisguitar, your cartoon makes me queasy! I must say I find processed food more and more disgusting as time goes by. I ate McDonalds last week as I was desperately hungry...then I spent the rest of the day feeling really yuck. But someone's making a lot of money out of that disgusting stuff.
