The cartoon shows Kim Jong-un standing atop a large North Korean missile, holding a video game controller connected to the weapon. A crowd gathers below as the new leader waves from his perch. The image responds to the December 2011 transition following Kim Jong Il's death, when his son assumed power in Pyongyang. The visual metaphor highlights concerns over the young leader's control of the country's nuclear capabilities. The drawing uses the game controller to suggest inexperience mixed with dangerous authority over weapons of mass destruction.
