Inkblot test of contemporary anxiety.
In the 1960s during the Cold War the major anxiety in the western world was the potential destruction of civilisation by nuclear weapons.
In the twenty-first century it is the threats to the environment caused by excess human activity.
The cartoon shows a Roschach test being interpreted as the mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion by someone in the 1960s and as a tree by someone today.
