Occupy Wall Street Cartoons

What is OccupyWallStreet? Is it many people, many voices, all united behind not being united, driven by selfishness or grandiose transcendent existentialism for the betterment of all humanity?

The Occupy movement was started by the Canadian ad firm AdBusters and driven online by the hacker group Anonymous. The Daily Dose has taken the movement, its nemeses, and some of the related hilarious ironies to task with pen and paper.

What is #OccupyWallSteet about?

OWS about, by and for the people?

Occupy Wall Street protesters as bankers LOLThe sound of fury signifying nothing? The sound of real rage, hinting at real change? Which of these perspectives will rule the day? Whatever your take, these cartoons about the leaderless political movement, started by a Snow Bird advertising company and its friends like George Soros and SEIU and the ironic ways big corporations like TIME Warner p0wn it, are sure to make you laugh out loud :) You can see more of these cartoons and their accompanying jokes at TheDailyDose.com.

LMFAO Occupy Wall Street editorial cartoon by laughzilla for the daily dose.

Many large media outlets have poked holes in the OccupyWallStreet and Occupy Everywhere movements by saying that the movement lacks any unified goals. Laughzilla took this issue to task with this editorial political business cartoon for the daily dose, pointing out the irony of the charge, the state of affairs, and the commercial mask from V for Vendetta owned by Time Warner being used to hide the faces of many demonstrators.

Capitalism was at the center of a large number of Occupy Wall Street protesters in the Autumn of 2011. Laughzilla took the irony of the Time Warner corporation's ownership of the V for Vendetta mask which many fans of the Anonymous hacker group used and thus promoted, thus contributing to the wealth of the very system they despise.

    OWS needs to figure out when it will be right for OWS to transition from a show of force protest movement that it currently is to one that disrupts the political process more directly by either voting or disrupting the flow of money to the major parties.
