Democracy Mug – Social Media

A drawing that says out loud what plenty of people think quietly.

The word DÉMOCRATIE collapses, letter by letter, under an avalanche of screens and smartphones stamped RÉSEAUX SOCIAUX — French for social media. Off to one side, a figure walks away without noticing a thing, headphones on. Black, white and red, drawn in editorial-cartoon style: no slogan, no lecture — just an image that needs no caption.

A gift for critical minds: journalists, teachers, political science students, or anyone who appreciates a drawing that thinks. The kind of object that starts a conversation by the coffee machine rather than ending one.

• Editorial illustration in black, white and red, printed across the full face
• Two handle colours: bright red or black, with matching interior
• Classic 330 ml size, to give or to keep

A satirical illustration: it asks a question, it does not answer it.
