There are days when I wish I could draw cartoons. Here’s what I would draw today*.
The Titanic is powering ahead through a clear, calm, star lit night. The Captain is tossing aside a telegram telling him that there are large bergs about. The think bubble above his head reveals he thinks his ship can manage anything. Down in the radio cabin, the operator is besieged by big men in dinner jackets who are playing the stock market, buying and selling shares in a new oil field. The chaplain is leading a service for the faithful. His sermon is about Jesus calming the waves. Just visible above the water line, a small girl with pigtails is leaning out of a port hole shouting ‘There is a huge iceberg ahead!’ The first mate tells the Captain to ignore her, cos she’s just a panicky, uneducated school girl who can’t even speak English properly.
You know the rest. And if you are a first class passenger, you have very little to worry about.
