TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has six panels. Each panel shows a conversation between two men, one a young guy wearing a t-shirt, the other a middle-aged executive-looking man wearing a suit.
PANEL 1
Younger guy looks thoughtful as the older guy cheerfully makes a sales pitch.
OLDER: We’re cutting Medicaid, raising import taxes, huge tax cuts for billionaires, and Russia’s now our bestie. Also, we want to annex Canada.
PANEL 2
Younger holds up his palms, rejecting Older guy’s ideas. Older guy is smiling.
YOUNGER: But I don’t want any of that!
OLDER: We’ll also give you a couple of minorities to blame everything on and we’ll treat them like shit!
PANEL 3
A close shot of the Younger guy shows him looking thoughtful and a little blank. A panel on the side of his head opens.
PANEL 4
The panel opens further; we can now see it’s being opened by the Younger guy’s brain, which has eyes and limbs, and is squeezing out the opening.
PANEL 5
The brain jumps away, leaving an empty head behind.
PANEL 6
The Younger guy, an open panel still showing his empty head, is standing robotically and speaking too loudly. The Older guy smiles smugly.
YOUNGER: YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT!
CHICKEN FAT WATCH
“Chicken fat” is obsolete cartoonists’ slang for little details that are unimportant but fun.
Panel 1 – Younger guy’s t-shirt shows a big capital “T,” with hands coming out the “sleeves” and a collar drawn on top. In small print below the T it says “(get it?)”. A booklet lying on the sidewalk is entitled “How To Litter” with burst lettering saying “easy!” “fun” and “low cal!”
Panel 2 – The t-shirt now shows a chicken, with a thought balloon saying “Don’t call me fat.”
Panel 3 – The t-shirt now says “Lincoln Faked His Death.”
Panel 6 – The t-shirt now says “Down with Eastasia,” but “Eastasia” is crossed out and “Eurasia” written in.
