Cartoon Confusion?
Oct 9^th, 2022 at 11:19pm

Maybe I'm having a seniors' moment, or I'm developing
early onset dementia, but I've tried to work out what this
cartoon from today's AGE newspaper illustrates, but with
no success.

It appears to be a schoolgirl swinging a (man, woman, teacher, imam, cleric, politician) around her head in circles:

Any help, or cheap 2nd hand walking frames appreciated. Grin

Seriously though, if a cartoon isn't immediately obvious with
regard to its message, then IMO it's failed in its purpose.

—What say you guys?

Reply #1 - Oct 9^th, 2022 at 11:31pm At a guess I'd say it is supposed to reflect something of the current rebellion by women in Iran about head dress. Even so I can't see what it is saying... if anything....

Why would anyone in their right minds go to Iran & risk being detained?

Let alone an 87 yr old Julie Andrews.

Andrews played the role in a feature film called “Mary Poppins” 55 years ago (or 58) and was invited to Iran 2 Nov 2019. The cartoon is dated 6 months in the future.

Because she figures she can achieve something and she's lived life?

She no have hijab on, neither - she turned it into an ayatollah kite, ayatollah up in the air, to the wind like her hair - geddit?
