Trying to stay sane in today’s world. Cartoon for Dutch newspaper Trouw: trouw.nl/cartoons/tjeerd-royaa…

#MentalHealth #sanity #society #future

Black-and-white cartoon showing people walking outside on a gloomy December day. They are looking very depressed, with bent backs and looking down. On each of the pedestrians’ backs sits a half-translucent black creature, weighing them down while drinking from their heads with a straw. A depressed person on a park bench (also with a creature sucking at his brain) is reading a newspaper with the headlines: ‘Mental health crisis, ‘Climate crisis’, ‘War imminent’, ‘Housing shortage’ and ‘Poor? It’s your own fault!’
