The darkness of Cuba
This cartoon features a man in a suit, depicted in a state of panic, running away while holding a book titled “DIPLOMACY.” He appears to be fleeing from a large missile labeled “WAR” that is flying directly behind him with flames shooting out of its tail, indicating it is in motion.
The imagery suggests a commentary on the urgency and perhaps the inadequacy of diplomatic efforts in the face of imminent war or conflict. The man’s expression and the dynamic movement captured in the scene emphasize the dramatic and desperate nature of his attempt to escape or avert the looming threat of war.
