Oliver Schopf, cartoonist for the Standard of Vienna, entitles this beautiful strip "Fata Morgana," and the reflections just before the Promised Land do indeed suggest a mirage.
Which does a very nice job of setting us up with a promise and then dashing our hopes, bringing about a truly brilliant level of empathy with those optimistic, desperate pilgrims.
I'm glad I saw it, but I'm glad most editorial cartoons don't produce the same punch-in-the-gut feeling.
