Mayday #[nn]

A sharpened paper airplane folded from a U.S. dollar bill takes center stage on this 2008 cover of Trik: Illustrated Politiks, published by Oog & Blik — a quietly pointed image set against a dense mosaic of that year's political buzzwords, from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to Hezbollah, the financial crisis, and Geert Wilders. The visual wit is hard to miss: money weaponized as a paper dart, surrounded by the noise of a turbulent world moment. A sharp little package for anyone drawn to political commentary with a graphic sensibility.
