the shovels and baseball bat are interesting touches
This is pretty cool.
Amerika has its curtains closed too, or closing itself off to the world while Russia and china get to enjoy the stars.
The baseball bat has a lot of symbolism. Pig in the bird cage/framed?
Good artist, has what might be some pretty yikes art on their telegram page... I only know the most technical of Russian so not really sure what some of it's about. Unfortunately sometimes when they illustrate people... Well, I understand why Ben Garrison labels things now, or they're just high profile in CIS region that I haven't seen before.
A Russian political cartoonist might not be entirely wholesome chungus???
It's not surprising, just noting for anyone who's hoping for a commie or social liberal. So they know before also looking them up.
Banjo-Kazooie's post-breakup living arrangement seems to be working out well.
I love the old timey art style, I feel like most political cartoons have a samey aesthetic (aside from Eli Valley).
Dying to know what the pig means, why is there a photo on the wall that is just a close up of the pig frowning.
this is kinda how I was reading it
capitalists trapped in their own :brainworms: gilded cage of ideology
aka
don't our farts smell so sweet!
still thinking about the portrait, maybe a play off the cliche of the 'dear leader' portrait in the home
so :amerikkka: worships the leadership of the capitalists while also trapping them via their own propaganda about "there is no alternative" etc
I don't get the impression the artist is an anti-capitalist in any sense. From their other work, this would just be a cartoon of a sad/backstabbing meeting of the bears if the guy happened to have been born Stateside or brought there as a kid or something. Good artist though, can't knock their style and this one is a banger.
