The Boat’s Burden
This cartoon depicts a small boat struggling under the weight of an enormous pile of various items—money, documents, and other symbols of financial or bureaucratic burdens. The boat appears to be barely afloat, with water splashing over its sides as it tries to navigate through turbulent waters. The scene humorously represents the idea of being overwhelmed by excessive responsibilities or pressures. It serves as a critique of how institutions or individuals can be weighed down by their own complexities and challenges, highlighting the difficulties of managing heavy burdens in both literal and metaphorical terms.
