What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **text-based**, not a cartoon. It's an article by Rev. "Golightly" Morrill, pastor of People's Church in Minneapolis, reporting on his recent three-month tour of South and Central America for the *Whiz Bang* magazine. The satire targets **Venezuelan bureaucracy and corruption** at ports of entry—Morrill criticizes passport visas, custom fees, red-tape, delays, and "insolence" from officials who allegedly rob travelers of "time, money and patience." The article opens with the wry comparison that entering Venezuela is nearly as difficult as "the descent to hell." The introduction also contains a humorous anecdote about Morrill's home being burglarized during his absence, with his parting note sarcastically referencing a Bible passage against theft.
