WB7-- excellent stuff, thanks for the "no liquid" warning. The troika will make it difficult for me to sleep for a while! (But do check your credit: I don't think the original is Grosz, it's Otto Dix, I believe.)

Wed, 02/08/2012 - 23:07 | 2140391 williambanzai7

Oops, I believe you are right. The two are similar in theme, but Dix leans more to portraiture. Nice catch as they say at the printers ;-)

WB7 - I spit my coffee on my dog and fell over and broke my chair at the Troika horse-plane. Funniest thing I've seen...maybe ever.

Lazy socialist Greeks are getting the reaming they deserve. Administered by bankers and plutocrats who, soon enough, will meet the same fate...if not worse. All are guilty, but some are guiltier than others. Get over it, Banzai: there ain't no Good Guys anymore. Probably never were.

Ass bleach rations will be cut by only 15%. I really hope Angela gets the memo - see WB7 TRoiKa 3.0 image above.

After that picture of LaGarde and Merkel I may never pop another boner. Damaged for life

Troika 3.0.....I hope I survive the nightmares that are sure to come tonight! I am still laughing....

Honestly though, how can ANYONE still support this corrupt system? The Greeks are told to cut wages, fire people, pay more in taxes etc, and STILL NONE OF THE CROOKS WHO PROFITED ARE PUNISHED!! It is the same the world over - have any of the bankers or their politician lackeys faced meaningful punishment? Nope.

And back here in the USA the easy-lending is back in high gear to "stimulate the economy"....gotta keep those slave labor camps in Asia going. It makes you sick just to watch the pathetic drones stream out of Costco with their shopping carts overflowing with crap they don't need. Yup - this economy is really worth saving?

Wed, 02/08/2012 - 18:54 | 2139622 Joebloinvestor

The only way I know of punishing crooks is to stop funding their way of life.

Haven't you heard? The US economy is based on consumerism.

A philosophical question, if I may...

Why does everything coming out of Greece seem like a variation on the theme of The Vagina Monologues? ;)

I like the last one because it's apt.

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world, just waiting for one fat guy to take the fire escape down and send everyone that had been clinging to it to intensive care.

It is very much like the final sequence of that movie, only now it is buried under the big Euro.

I really like that airport scene..

That For Sale sign might show up many places..

Once again, Fine Job WB7.

(Ben's Keyboard is also a classic..)

It should be changed to "For Rent." In the future, ownership will be restricted to governments, and their TBTF counterparts. Private property has ceased to exist.

Like all great comedy, humor is oft counterbalanced with pathos.

When I see these images I look beyond at the very real fear and struggles of fellow man as the burdens are laid upon their shoulders by those who will not carry their own burden.

WB, you are producing some of the best caricature out there! Your "Troika 3.0" deserves to be published on front pages around the world. In fact the New Yorker should run it!

Is it by design or by pure lack of foresight and lack of leadership that this whole Greek quagmire has turned into the biggest joke of this very young century?

That Merkel picture reminds me of seeing her cleavage during her last campaign. Ewwww..

The unnatural contortions that these people are putting themselves through will make for livelier theater of the grotesque.

I would have pictured their degradations involving a little more leather apparel and accessories. And rope.

Wed, 02/08/2012 - 15:09 | 2138773 NotApplicable

I would've never pictured anything involving their degradations.

Perhaps you should seek help before this illness progresses any further?

That illness is what makes him special. It would be like medicating a genius whose creativity only comes out from his chemical imbalance. Besides, he's safely tucked away in Honk Kong.
