Cartoons

The German class decided to put together a class newspaper, and instead me just waiting for the project to be over, I pulled out my pen and whipped up these masterworks. Unlike the last post about my drawings, these were made during the proper homework time (at home) and with the teachers permission, except for maybe a few, but thats beside the point.



This was my first one, it was right after people found out that Iran didn't really have a nuclear program, it translates to, "No, George, no more cookies until you stop lying about the Middle East." I didn't think it was particularly funny, but other people liked it.



This is a Hamburg based joke, at the time I wrote it, the Hamburg cultural museum had just found out that it had bough fake Chinese terra-cotta soldiers, it translates to, "Hey guys, they're made out of chocolate!"



This one is about the new electronic voting machines this year in Hamburg, and how people were unsure about how to use them and such.



This one is my favorite of this bunch, it's about global warming, the newspapers say things like, "Knut is 1" and "Save the earth" and such. Take note of the irony with the airplane.
