WAR is STUPID, [part 5]
HERE, I return to one of my favorite themes within the strip, namely the Eternal Madness that constitutes the enigma known as WAR.
This particuar theme never goes out of date and is as relevant today as it was hundreds, and even thousands, of years ago---as I speak, I was alarmed and appalled to read a newspaper report detailing the preparations [on all sides] of a potential Nuclear Theater of War, out in the Iranian Desert, which was truly Horrific in it's matter-of-fact treatment of such an event actually transpiring.
What can I do about this deeply worrying and important state of affairs? Not a lot, and not a jot-------apart from, that is, my 'power' as a cartoonist, which grants me the leeway to depict the Act of War as a bizarre charade [which isn't all that far from the truth, in my humble opinion].
I can't stop this madness and disease that makes up the scourge of Warfare, but I delight in reflecting the built-in absurdity of the situation.
More on this selfsame theme is in the works as we speak.......
