Ceasefire in the AshesInternational

Ceasefire in the Ashes

Ceasefire Powered by DieselInternational

Ceasefire Powered by Diesel

The cartoon mocks the hypocrisy of peace and climate diplomacy that depends on the same fossil-fueled war infrastructure it claims to restrain. It suggests the ceasefire is not a clean moral break, but a process literally sustained by the logistics, pollution, and machinery of conflict.

Ceasefire on Melting IceInternational

Ceasefire on Melting Ice

Ceasefire at the Melt LineInternational

Ceasefire at the Melt Line

The cartoon mocks geopolitical triumphalism and resource greed by showing leaders celebrating a neat diplomatic victory over Arctic territory even as climate change—driven in part by the same scramble for shipping and drilling—makes that victory physically meaningless.

Ceasefire in the AshesInternational

Ceasefire in the Ashes

The joke is that the ceasefire is presented as a mature act of peace and long-term security, but it only pauses human conflict so both sides can more efficiently destroy the thing they claim is worth saving. It mocks greenwashed diplomacy in which ecological ruin is repackaged as stewardship, and na

Ceasefire at the GlacierInternational

Ceasefire at the Glacier

Diplomacy is mocked as performative triumph over a crisis leaders have already allowed to slip away: they celebrate cooperation and division of a shared resource at the exact moment that resource is vanishing. The joke is not that peace is bad, but that political theater treats ecological collapse a

Ceasefire at the WaterlineInternational

Charging the Water WarsInternational

Charging the Water Wars

The cartoon mocks the fantasy of fighting resource wars in a supposedly green future: nations may replace oil with clean energy, but they still cling to militarism and rivalry—even when the infrastructure they depend on only functions through sharing, interdependence, and mutual restraint.
