1. This cartoon was drawn by Bob Gorrell.

2. It is titled "Dubai" and was published in the Creators syndicate. It was published on December 5, 2009.

3. The issue/ event the cartoon deals with Dubai's economic crisis.

4. The overall message the cartoon displays is that if Dubai's economy has fallen, the rest of the world is screwed.

5. I agree with the cartoon's message. Dubai, generally is an economically booming region. With man-made islands in different shapes and many lavish hotels, that no doubt, many wealthy Americans have stayed in. With their economic downfall they have had to make a request to pay back their loans later. There are some American banks that have invested in those projects. So Dubai's economic downturn will make the American economic issues worse.
