Mundo Quino

I selected this comic by Mundo Quino as it ironically contradicts the struggle of the Latin American people to achieve freedom.  It appears from this drawing that freedom and democracy was finally obtained as the statue indicates victory. However, having the guard beside it and the “DO Not” signs scattered throughout the park it is in direct contrast with the idea of freedom and the liberty to do things. It is my impression that the message the artist is trying to relay to the viewer is that while fighting for liberty, we gain responsibilities that must be maintained and in so doing some privileges maybe lost.
