Alright, in short, this is a parody of Kim Jong Un in the typical South Park style and probably the reason, why I'll never be allowed to enter North Korea.
Look, I understand that politics as well as most social and economic issues is far to complex to make a point by just making a silly picture that hasn't even a decent amount of wit in in.
The thing is though, I do think that taking things lightly and making fun of them, even in the most basic ridiculous way, helps us to approach difficult topics with a sense of humour. What is happening with the people of North Korea (and many other places for that matter) isn't a joke but a smirk on our faces might just be what we need to loose the fear of heavy topics.
As for the second obvious thing here I want to mention that while I'm intending to make fun of dear Kim, I in no way want to offend fellow humans with mental challenges. Having worked with mentally handicapped people I am aware of the prejudices they face but also of the fact that most of them have an awesome sense of self-mockery and I personally salute to that.
Humour and satire for me is liberating and should never discriminate by leaving out certain groups. When used in the right place and the understanding of it's purpose, I think it's a wonderful thing to make fun of people. It might not change the world, but it might just loosen us up so we go on and tackle those issues in our everyday life.
Anyway... Thanks for having a look and have a wonderful day!

'ello there,
and thank you for those shiny twinkles!
Niehehe, I wonder if there are bananas in North Korea... They sure could need the nutrients (yes, yes, I'm being a jerk again -_-)
Best wishes to you and have a freshly peeled day

Anyone else notice how similar Eric Cartman is to a dictator? Both are self-aggrandizing, conceited, demanding, selfish, thankless, paranoid, and vengeful, just to name a few parallels. (Watch "Scott Tenorman Must Die" for compelling proof of the latter trait.)
As for this artwork, I think it is a nearly perfect summation of Kim Jong Un. All you need are South Park style parodies of Kim Jong Un's inner circle of generals and Dennis Rodman and you are all set!
Hello there
and thank you very much for your review and the yellow critters.
Oh geez, did you have to remind me of the Chili-Episode? Eversince I saw that, there's an eery shiver running down my spine when I get a bowl of chili ^^'
And yeah, lovely little Eric sure has the potential to be one hell of a dictator. Goes to show that some character traits might be fun to watch if they're confined to the screen but terrifying when let loose into the real world.
Also, perfect Idea to extend the piece a bit by adding more characters to it. I might actually do that when I get some free time on my hands - And that will be the definite gravestone for my travel plans to North Korea XD
Best wishes to you and have a lovely day
