GM Head Office

             This is a political cartoon drawn to foretell General Motor’s future outcome. General Motor is currently experiencing major drawbacks in sales leading to huge layoffs and closing of several plants. It is a drawing of a telephone booth out in the middle of nowhere and it is snowing. The snow and spacious background gives off a sense of loneliness and abandonment. Apparently someone had called the booth’s number trying to reach General Motors, instead gets an answering machine from the payphone. The bubble reads, “you’ve reached the head office of GM. Please leave a message after the tone…” The drawing is very simple, very spacious representing no other possibilities for General Motor but one precise path, bankruptcy. Because the telephone booth is in the middle of nowhere, we can assume that the artist is trying to say General Motor will become just as insignificant. Or it may mean that General Motor’s head office no longer exists, in place is a lone phone booth in the middle of nowhere. The artist’s objective to drawing this cartoon is to emphasize that General Motors will sooner or later become nothing; bankruptcy. Instead of a lavish office and a sexy secretary answering the call, you receive an answer machine of a “big corporation”.

            We have seen, heard, read about General Motor’s unfortunate business outcome. General Motor is strategizing to improve their sales. The 30,000 layoffs and the lost of 4 billion dollars in the year 2005 seem to out weight the progress at the mean time. Despite the tremendous sacrifice in price cutting and sign of improvement in their sales, many remain skeptical of General Motor’s ability to recover completely from such a lost. This artist is one voicing his skepticism. I don’t believe you could blame people for their response, faith, nor hopes in General Motors. 30,000 people have lost their jobs, the population can be somewhat bitter about the situation. Losing 4 billion dollars isn’t exactly like losing spare change. It looks like a tough recovery for General Motors, either that or just taking one step at a time for General Motors. General Motor will either prove America wrong or fall to its demise. Either one, it will show in a course of time.
