Political Cartoon: "War" as Muscle - Critique of Militarism and Power #300190 (License: Personal Use)

The image is a black-and-white editorial cartoon by Patrick Chappatte, featuring a man in a tank top examining his arm, which is grotesquely enlarged with the word “WAR” inscribed on the bicep. A thought bubble reads, “Whoa! I need more work on this muscle group!”-mocking the glorification of military strength. The artist uses exaggerated anatomy and irony to critique policies that prioritize armed conflict over peaceful solutions.
