“Unfriend” Named Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year - Cartoon Commentary #3703446 (License: Personal Use)

This political cartoon by Landgren features a startled turkey sitting at a laptop, pondering the implications of being “unfriended” by its farmer-a grim metaphor for digital disconnect and real-world consequences. The farmer stands nearby holding an axe, underscoring the dark humor tied to the Oxford Dictionary’s 2009 Word of the Year: “unfriend.” The scene blends modern social media anxiety with timeless farmyard symbolism.
