Environmental destruction and climate change, wars and terrorism - in 2024, humans are once again making themselves at home on this planet. Even aliens only dare to come here to attend Taylor Swift concerts and wonder why the Earth still exists at all. Right-wingers are on the rise, Trump is once again reaching for power. Even the Joker turns pale with envy. But at least he has a sense of humor. Just like the 82 illustrators represented in the "Best Pictures" exhibition, who immediately translated it into cartoon form.
The flawless dictator Putin continues to destroy Ukraine and his own country, the Middle East conflict is escalating and while the AfD is already the strongest political force in some eastern German states, the traffic lights are arguing at sandbox level. Only when it comes to the question of who is to blame for all the crises is there broad agreement: the others! It's madness - but luckily we still have comic art!
In the "Best Pictures" exhibition, the best German-language cartoonists show that, for example, weed was already a topic for Caspar David Friedrich and that "missing skilled worker" actually has what it takes to be a dream job, while the CDU discovers TikTok under Windows 95. Only Santa Claus will have to crawl through the heat pump from now on. But fortunately there is now a weight loss injection - even for anti-vaccinationists. What does it matter if your favorite club's goal celebration was bought from McDonalds? As long as the jerseys aren't in unmanly pink.
At least you can fly on vacation to drink from bottles whose lids are coming off - but better not with Boeing. Although there are already chants of "Foreigners abroad, Germans out!" on Malle. Better all go to the deserted beaches then. And if you are in favor of adapting climate change to our wallets, please raise your hand. When it comes to family planning, however, it is advisable to choose a reptile over a child in view of global warming. There you go!
