“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
THE DONKEY RACE
INTRODUCING “THE DONKEY RACE” – A HILARIOUS TAKE ON GLOBAL POLITICS!
Embark on a wild journey with world leaders as they discard years of pandemic planning, opting for an unexpected challenge – donkey racing! In an attempt to outpace the reigning champions, the Chinese government, politicians from around the globe mount their trusty donkeys.
Navigating the donkey track, Western politicians quickly adapt to the rules, attempting to enforce them on their populations with varying degrees of success. Donkey racing proves to be a tough sport for everyone involved, prompting politicians to dangle carrots of every kind to keep the race going.
Regardless of political affiliations, opposition parties find themselves doubling down on government directives – or taking the opposite stance, all in the pursuit of extra carrots. However, dissenters who refuse to join the race, like the courageous leaders President of Tanzania, John Magufuli, and President of Burundi, Pierre Nukurunziza, along with outspoken scientists suspiciously meeting untimely ends, become targets of the Federation of World Donkey Racing (FWDR).
Branded as conspiracy theorists and threats to humanity, these non-conformists are left hanging as trophies, illustrating the high stakes of The Donkey Race. This brief overview only scratches the surface of our satirical masterpiece. We value your input, so feel free to suggest elements for the drawing before it’s finalized.
