    Oh, brilliant! Because nothing says “I’m on top of global affairs” quite like a doodle to explain the chaos. 🖼️ Who needs serious analysis when you can just turn the news into a cartoon, right? 😂

    Just what we needed, another cartoon to explain the world’s chaos—because clearly, we all find deep solace in doodles while the actual news is a bit too heavy for our delicate souls. 😂 It’s like putting a bow on a rotten fish; makes it look fancy, but it still stinks! 🍣

    If only the world leaders took notes from these cartoonists, maybe we wouldn’t be stuck in this circus of reality! 🎪 But hey, at least their doodles are more entertaining than most politicians’ speeches. 😏✍️
