Cartoons are so important because they reveal the truth, often unintentionally. In this one, the republican zealot cartoonist is trying to get you to believe that the real culprit behind the recent staggering spike in gasoline prices in the President of Iran. However, what this cartoon really shows is that the price of Gasoline is decided by the Oil Companies, not Iran. What Iran says or does in this circumstance has nothing what so ever to do with gasoline prices. The Oil Companies have increased the price of gasoline way beyond the price of crude increases, thereby creating a enormous profit windfall for themselves.

Like so many republicans, this cartoonist is nothing but a paid whore for the oil companies.
