This is not the first Dean Alston cartoon that I've shared with you and probably not the last.. he is brilliant! Remember this one relating to the cutting down of the magnificent 100 year old Moreton Bay Figs to make way for Elizabeth Quay, j'adore! Alston, editorial cartoonist with The West Australian since 1987, renowned for his satirical humour has penned a tribute here that is both touchingly sensitive to the young men who lost their lives on the beaches of Normandy and to those who survived, as well as sadly relevant to today's political situation. Please embiggen and read, it's so worth it. Happy Sunday, take care...
I did read it. very well stated. I hope that you are having a nice weekend . We are waxing floors...moving furniture , etc to do so....
ReplyDeleteAh, how true!!! Thanks for sharing this, Grace!! Just hope this won't happen again, but knowing the history makes one a tad doubtful to say the least! Hope you have a lovely and peaceful weekend!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
ReplyDeleteVery touching...and so true...
ReplyDeleteGood one, Grace!
ReplyDeleteSo true.
ReplyDeleteYes, well said Dean and nicely reiterated, Grace.
ReplyDeleteProfound and true. Editorial cartoonists have a particular gift at that.
ReplyDeleteMr. Alston really hit the nail on the head with that cartoon.
ReplyDeleteI'd say he summed things up nicely. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent tribute to the DDay... Very smart cartoon.
ReplyDeletePerfect analysis. Unfortunately, today we now have another threat... and it's financial power... but the results are the same.
ReplyDeleteWell done, thanks for sharing, Grace. But he should´ve mentioned that the guy with the moustache was a small Austrian man with brown hair, too.
ReplyDeleteI really so fail to understand how he could convince people of his German, blonde, blue eyed, tall race. He was none of that!
Love this cartoon, mankind seems nothing to learn of history, wars go on and on.,,,,
ReplyDeleteAn important message Grace but which I hope is wrong. PS. No cars in our Bourke Street Mall just trams ... Ah ... But I have a solution which may make it to Melbourne Snaps.
ReplyDeleteYes, Bravo Mr Alston. TY for sharing, Grace.
ReplyDeleteGood message....
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice for the day; the comment about the future is, unfortunately too true.
