The image displays a woman standing with papers looking concerned next to a man seated in a recliner holding papers. Visible text in speech bubbles refers to credit cards being maxed out and a plan to add a reflecting pool. The title at the top reads about politicians operating as average Americans. A signature appears in the upper right.
Dave Granlund's cartoon features Mother Nature, with a flower crown and green toga labeled 'Mother Nature,' expressing frustration over a non-recycled Mother's Day card pulled from a mailbox. Two rabbits watch as she holds the card reading 'For a Special Mother' and an envelope, surrounded by grass, flowers, and a tree branch. The speech bubble demands 'WHY ISN'T THIS ON RECYCLED PAPER ?!' Tags like mothers, mothers day, environment, recycle, recycled paper, and trees underscore the environmental message in this 2016 piece, blending holiday sentiment with a call for sustainability in greeting cards.
