Nationality of the cartoonist: Mongrel

Significance: None. The guy could draw, he had a job drawing, so he drew - there was a war, so he drew a drawing about the war - Wars are conducted by humans, humans "reason", "reason" is synonym for "excuse", human excuse for everything is always "It's Not My Fault. It's Yours" so the guy drew a drawing with a bunch of guys saying "It's Not My Fault. It's Yours". He got paid money for his drawing, went home, used the money to buy stuff, drew more drawings, got more money, bought more stuff, and eventually dropped dead. What's the significance of that? Flowers do the same thing.
