I'm alright Jack...

More about I'm alright Jack...

A richly detailed, colorful political cartoon by artist Bob Moran, with a grotesque middle-aged man on a brick wall, wearing a checkered shirt and overalls, pulling up a wooden ladder from a desperate crowd below who are reaching up to climb it. The man is laughing maliciously and saying, "AND I'M ALRIGHT JACK—PULL UP THE LADDER! I'M ALRIGHT JACK—I'M SAFE ON THE WALL! I'M ALRIGHT JACK—AND IF YOU CLIMB JUST A LITTLE BIT HIGHER BUT THE HIGHER YOU CLIMB THE FURTHER YOU FALL!" On the wall next to him are two sacks of money, a backpack, and a bottle of beer. The crowd below the wall is yelling and falling into a chaotic heap. Signs on the wall say "NO CLIMBERS! SAFE ZONE" and "JACK'S WALL" and "THE FALL ZONE." In the background is a city skyline with smoke rising into a stormy sky.
