Eurozone crisis cartoon ; Euro meltdown ; A pile of defaults ; Webs of debt

Posted on the day of the Greek elections. The candle has almost melted away, its last embers blowing the sign of the euro in smoke rings and the cobwebs at the corners of the desk represent the entangled webs of debt in the eurozone. The cyber mermaid is sitting amongst piles of default letters. The grinning cheshire cat, bloated and inflated like a floating balloon, represents fat cat executive bonus pay- recently in the news as well as 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 ?
