The Cyber Mermaid as Pierrot, the sad clown...( and the fool ! )

The Cyber Mermaid is sad thinking about all the precious and sentimental things she sold in order to pay the interest on her bank credit cards ( before the default ). Her hair is lank and lack lustre as she is still without running hot water ( 2 cartoon blogs ago ). 

This cartoon also has in mind the people of Greece, many of whom have had to sell their family gold jewellery in order to survive in a financial crisis that is not of their doing.

Debt and Default cartoon ; Sunny Star World of News exclusive ; The Cyber Mermaid is downgraded...

The Cyber Mermaid is grinning with relief that finally the mounting interest on her bank credit cards has come to a halt due to the default. The cheshire cat is grinning insanely at the financial madness of economies being built on foundations of debt. The order of countries that are likely to default ( on the debt clock ) is conjecture.
