Abstract:
Color postcard showing a bar. A large pig wearing a red, white, and blue American flag pattern suit and top hat is sitting on a blue barstool. He’s pointing his left index finger towards the bartender. He’s holding a drink with ice and a cigarette in his right hand. The text from him reads “You filthy drug exporters! You can't even control your people, your rotten governments or even your borders! You disgust me!” There are numerous upset glasses, bottles, and a syringe on the yellow bar surface. A smaller image of the same pig is lying on his back on the bar with the words coming from him “Another round!!” The bartender is a slim man with brown hair and mustache. He’s wearing a blue shirt, a white bow tie, and white apron. He’s holding a glass and a towel in both hands. Behind him are bottles of liquor on shelves, a box of cigars, a cash register, and a sign reading “Latin America.” He appears to be alarmed by the large pig.
