This vertical political cartoon by Rodríguez is titled "EPIG FURY" (a play on the words "Epic" and "Pig"). It critiques illegal war in Iran and its impact on civilians through stark, symbolic imagery.
The Floating Figures
In the upper half, two war criminals, depicted as pig-like figures with the front halves of their bodies (including hooves) float against a grey background. They wear green military helmets.
- On the left: The figure features a caricature of Donald Trump, with narrow eyes, heavy jowls, wearing a helmet bearing the United States flag.
- On the right: The figure features a caricature of Benjamin Netanyahu, wearing a helmet bearing the Israeli flag.
- Both figures are dripping with bright red blood of their victims from their lower sections, which falls toward the scene below.
The Centerpiece
Silhouettes of military aircrafts fly in the background amidst radiating grey beams of light. Centered between the two caricatures, a large, silver missile is falling nose-down toward the bottom of the frame.
The Scene Below
At the bottom of the image, two Iranian children with backpacks stand on a light-colored ground marked with a hand-drawn chalk hopscotch court. They are looking directly upward at the descending missile and the dripping blood with expressions of intense fear and apprehension.
The artist’s signature and handle, "Rodríguez @rodriguezmonos," are in the bottom left.
