Cartoon consisting of two panels. In the first panel, we see a billboard with a graph showing the rising number of victims of the war in the Middle East. People are walking and driving by, ignoring the billboard. In the second panel we see the same billboard and graph, except that the graph is now showing the rising gas prices. Cars have stopped in the middle of the street and people are looking up in consternation and panic at the billboard.

Selfish land of selfish people electing selfish "leaders."

I'm so sick of living here I almost wish ICE would deport me.

    Don't worry it's not just the US that is obsessed by oil. I'm from its northern petrostate neighbour and the same thing happens here.

    Our police harass and dislodge natives so we can sell sweet sweet oil to the rest of the world. Ecologists are considered terrorist and the economy is the most important thing at any election. And we also get very upset when gas prices are going up. Much less for a few thousand dead humans.
