Cartoon of the Day 21-11-2025: When Politics Tries to Revive the Unrevivable

The cartoon presents a stitched-together elephant on a laboratory table, hooked to wires and clamps, while a group of political figures watch eagerly, asking, “Is it alive?” The imagery echoes the classic Frankenstein scene — an attempt to revive something that has long lost its natural vitality.

The elephant, misshapen and patched, symbolizes a political entity or alliance that has undergone repeated repairs, reshuffles, and reinventions. Its mismatched parts hint at compromises, fragmented ideologies, and hastily assembled alliances. The leaders gathered around—smiling, hopeful, almost gleeful—represent a wider political culture where reviving weakened institutions or parties becomes a ritual rather than a meaningful solution.

Rather than blaming anyone, the cartoon invites a gentle reflection: when political structures become stitched together merely for survival, can they truly serve the people? Or do they end up resembling creations held together by wires, awaiting yet another attempt at resuscitation?
