I have hesitated with this attached item for Radix, wishing to avoid
coincidence with recent more serious 'documentaries on risk and
vulnerability'. However, this cartoon recently appeared in the Guardian
with a commentary (by President Obama) extolling Peanuts as a 'daily
security blanket' suggesting all things being OK - one interpretation of
resilience perhaps?
However, this cartoon also epitomises vulnerability, as in most cases
caused by others and in this case exonerated by a warning - a cover for
any perpetrator - and placing responsibility for survival upon the
individual at risk, successfully in this case. Charles Schulz veers
closer to political policies than did the President!
