Euro meltdown cartoon ; 'A pile of defaults' ; Grinning cheshire cat ; Webs of debt

Posted on the day of the Greek election. The candle has almost melted away, its last embers blowing the sign of the euro in smoke rings. The cyber mermaid is sitting amongst a pile of defaults. In this cartoon, the cheshire cat is bloated and inflated - like a floating balloon - and represents fat cat executive bonus pay and fat cat tax evasion. In the book, 'Alice in Wonderland', the cheshire cat disappears at will which begs the question, where HAS all the money gone ?

The Cyber Mermaid as Pierrot, the sad clown...( and the fool ! )

The Cyber Mermaid is sad thinking about all the precious and sentimental things she sold in order to pay the interest on her bank credit cards ( before the default ). Her hair is lank and lack lustre as she is still without running hot water ( 2 cartoon blogs ago ). 
This cartoon also has in mind the people of Greece, many of whom have had to sell their family gold jewellery in order to survive in a financial crisis that is not of their fault.

Debt and Default cartoon ; The Cyber Mermaid is downgraded...

The Cyber Mermaid is grinning with relief that finally 6-7 months after the default notice, her credit card account has finally defaulted. The cheshire cat is grinning insanely at the financial madness of economies being built on foundations of debt. The order of countries likely to default ( on the debt clock on the wall ) is conjecture.

Causing a stink ; Boiler on the blink ; The Cyber Mermaid cartoon blog

The Cyber Mermaid Cracks Up 
Too cold to stay at my desk for long but there are a few more banking cartoons coming up. Have a backlog of washing up to do ( am using a kettle ) but I will find the time to do some more banking cartoons. Next cartoon for this blog is the 'Default Cartoon'.
