    Let’s not even compare the actions of WWII soldiers to this piece of shit war. If anything it’s Vietnam 2.0 but worse actually.

    …Does the “oil derrick” label need to be there? Like, hiw is someone who doesn’t recognise it from the drawing expected to know the term?

        Well, sure, lowest form of comedy, but at least with the sign you can guess the idea was that more people have heard the name “Venezuela” than know what the flag looks like.

      Definitely a little on the nose. A full-on pump jack would be more recognizable but it would be really weird and hard to draw at that angle. The other traditional trick of cartoonists is to have oil spurting out the top, but that doesn’t really work when it is being erected either
