Yeah, I get who the players are -- but don't know what the cartoons are saying. Cartoonist Steve Bell doesn't use captions (or so a search of him seems to indicate) so the image MUST tell the story for it to be effective. Maybe the Brits get it (he's published in UK's Guardian).

The axe: Did Elmer / McCain just chop down the cherry tree or what? Who knows. Who can tell?

And it seems the little mouse Ahmadinejad is being coaxed by what is clearly a big RAT Obama (no way is that a mouse tail).

Until you mentioned it I couldn't see that HC was supposed to be a cat -- thought she was a fluffy white rat.

Lack of clarity in message abounds in these two images.
