Uncle Sam's Debtby `CrimsonMagpie

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Cartoons / Mixed Media

Another image for the third issue of Thunk, which you can see here [link] !

This is a comment upon the USA's financial situation within the world economy, especially with their arch-rivals / bosom-buddies China. Uncle Sam is fun to draw, and this isn't the last time I'll be depicting him. In all seriousness he's an awesome character to work on.

Thanks to *tintits for showing me how to digitally fix the colours of his hat, because I bollocksed them up....

He's in luck, Chinese pistols have to tendency to be held together with glue and tinfoil ^^

Really? I thought they used the more traditional welding and screws?

~flippedoutkyrii Jul 17, 2012

Nah, not really, although it does seem that way.

Older model Chinese weapons were mass produced and left to rust in warehouses, currently, there are roughly 7 million SKS rifles sitting in hundreds of thousands of wooden crates that haven't been touched in decades. Many of which are NOT in good condition. I wouldn't be surprised if that gun to poor sams head would misfire and inflict more damage to the shooter XD

I loathe that the U.S. has outsourced so many manufacturing jobs to China, a criminal regime that abuses its people (along with those of Tibet and Taiwan) at every chance it gets. The best thing people can do is boycott Chinese made products, but that is technically impossible. The computer I’m using, like 90% or so of all electronic devices, is made in China. Although I work for a company whose products are all American made, China is the obviously the largest manufacturer (sorry for stating the obvious).

But China owns a very small portion (about 8 percent) of US debt. The Social Security Trust Fund is the biggest holder of U.S. debt.

And if you read these articles, China isn’t this country that will eclipse the U.S. in a manner similar to this political cartoon.

The mainstream media sources usually overlook what’s going on within China’s borders. [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link]

It's a bitch, but I do believe China's position of economic dominance is quite precarious, and it's due for a devastating fall if the rest of the world goes tits-up. The recent Taiwanese floods didn't do their electronic manufacturing sector any favours either.

As one all agree, that you'll not married be
To such as will use Beijing factory,
But at first sight refuse, tell 'em such you will choose
As encourage our own manufactory.

That wasn't a joke.

Sorry, I didn't know how to reply; I've never gotten a poem as a comment before.
