Scathing Political Cartoons Take On Greece, Eurozone's Unpopular #GreekMent

Scathing Political Cartoons Take On Greece, #GreekMent

A flurry of political cartoons from around the globe tackles Greece's debt crisis with a sharp mix of comedy and tragedy, with a nod to Greek dramatic tradition.

Appearing with hashtags like #GreekCrisis #ThisIsACoup and #GreekMent (after European Council President Donald Tusk dubbed the bailout deal "an agreekment"), the cartoons take a dim view of the bailout negotiations -- and politicians like German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Greece Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

The terms of the unpopular deal Tsipras reached with eurozone partners includes more austerity with no debt forgiveness. Greece's parliament will vote on the package Wednesday.

The cartoons pull no punches -- one likens the nation to an ISIS hostage -- and range from heartbreaking to scathing -- especially for Merkel.
