Italian artist Alexsandro Palombo at the website HUMOR CHIC, uses Homer Simpson transformed into El Chapo and Colombian trafficker, Pablo Escobar to make statements regarding the drug war..
The collection is titled “Stop the Drug war” series.
I did not vote for our current president, nonetheless seeing Chapo holding Obama's decapitated head is a little too creepy for this American. However, Bart purchasing marijuana from our president did bring a smile to my face.
Another has President Obama growing marijuana on the White House lawn, a nod to the recent legalization in Oregon and Washington states.
As for Pablo Escobar’s caricature, one of the illustrations has Pablo kneeling in front of a collage of images of victims such as the editor of “El Espectador” newspaper. Another illustration has him wearing a crown of thorns.
Escobar predicted that drugs would eventually be legalized.
On the Humor Chic website Palombo writes:
When art, illustrations, cartoons and satire collide, "When I put pencil to paper, I know where I'll start but I don't know where I'll finish"
