A view after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch.
A very large woman stands wedged between two rows of concrete pillars eating a huge cream bun. She says 'Christmas fare protection... it helps prevent lateral spread!' Context - overeating at Christmas and lateral spreading, which is associated with liquefaction and tends to occur near streams and waterways as the soil mass moves towards them. Reference to the Christchurch earthquake of 4th September 2010. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
The cartoon shows one car heading out of Christchurch and another heading into Christchurch. Two roadsigns read 'Earthquake refugees heading out of Christchurch' and 'Motorist refugees heading to Christchurch for cheap petrol'. Context - many people are leaving Christchurch after the 22 February earthquake but others are coming into Christchurch to benefit from cheap fuel. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
