The State of the World Today by Me

The State of the World Today



My sketch tells the entire story of the state of the world today, and I guess it needs some explanation to reveal its true deep-seated meaning.

In the background you will clearly see a huge A-frame - this represents whatever great power it is that holds the world together, yet, it is adorned with small black spots - it is not well! Why? Well, look to the top right of the picture and you will see a hooded man - he represents pikeys - yet look! His left hand reaches behind him towards the sun - this represents his hope that one-day he will break free from his stabbing lifestyle (see his right hand). Below this man is a fish - he represents the anger all piscine-types have towards over-fishing in our atlantic seas, yet still, the smiling face of fishers looks down upon him laughing... laughing I tell you. Toward the centre of the A frame is a brush, hopefully brushing away the cobwebs of rubbishness. Arrows point to it to make you notice it, cos you'd probably miss it otherwise. The top left of the picture depicts one of those McDonalds Happy-meal toy dog things. I drew it wobbly because I'm not Lovin' It. Not at all. The bottom of the screen shows some pointy things. They look cool. The letters pcd are written upside down on the pointy things; representing how much I would like to turn upside down both the terrible disease Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia and the terrible band, Pussycat Dolls. There are swirly things underneath the A-frame represent Freud's Oedipus complex. Look at me, I'm so clever. The eye to the left of the screen overlooks all this intelligence and sighs in the way that only a mouth/vocal-chord-less eye can.
