Finally, I’ve got something on the revolution currently underway in Libya.
This cartoon is mostly a response to people lamenting the recent increases in gas prices ostensibly caused by democratic protests against various Middle Eastern dictators, like Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi. It irked me that many Americans, including a lot of other cartoonists, seemed to be more concerned about how much it costs to fill up their cars than the freedom and lives of foreigners, so I wanted to do something pointing out how our own spending habits support these brutal regimes.
