God bless us everyone
LDG/1/1/44 · Item · [1969-1970]
Part of Illustrations by Les Gibbard

Cartoon shows a starving black man leaning on a crutch holding out a begging bowl whilst a fat white man in a suit gorges on roasted turkey by a Christmas tree. The caption reads "God bless us, everyone!"

[Likely that the cartoon was produced during the period of Biafran civil war, the black character is drawn in much the same way as Gibbard has done in other cartoons about this conflict. Also starvation was a key issue during the war where approximately 2 million Biafran citizens died of starvation.]

A cartoon showing a living room in which a man and woman relax surrounded by excessive quantities of food and drink. A Christmas tree and other decorations indicate the time of year. There is a large window through which a man walks alongside a woman who is on horseback. In a clear contrast with the couple inside, these two figures look sad, and even the horse appears dejected. On the ground beside them is the label 'Homeless'.
