Mein alter Freund Jerry, gelernter New Yorker Historiker, wohnhaft “up in Vermont”, schickt mir, neben allen hochkarätigen Analysen der Zeitgeschichte,  immer wieder auch Cartoons (s.o.), in denen sich Widerstand gegen jedwede Repression manifestiert:

“Most people forget that hieroglyphics were really spiritual and political newspapers – detailing events, lives of rulers and the gods, religious traditions and a sense of oneness that helped make Egypt a huge presence in the ancient world. That’s what adds humor and poignancy to this cartoon — for it shows what is happening as the people move to throw out Mubarak and create a better Egypt serving their needs.
If the repression grows — as many expect — then this may be a souvenir of a time when the people tried to remove a dictator!”
