Luojie's 2016 cartoon captures the fall of oil prices through a roller coaster metaphor, where a barrel labeled 'OIL PRICES' hurtles down steep tracks. Arms clad in various attires—suit sleeves, keffiyeh, plaid shirt—stick out, gesturing wildly with thumbs up, pointing fingers, and a steering wheel. Exclamation points, dollar signs, stars, and hash marks fly around, emphasizing the turmoil. This image tags oil, price, fall, roller coaster, and oil producing countries, illustrating the volatile ride of global energy markets in a straightforward, humorous jab at economic instability.
