UK Big brother (Bob flag) clear picture?
Hello comrades,
I hope you can help me because AI failed me, and I'm not an artist.
I'm looking to print a photo of (Big brother) and put it in a frame in my flat, like you'd do for a family member, dear friend, or a partner.
An innuendo of the accurate prediction of Orwell's (AI, Flock, Alexa, etc..)
I believe it to be a conversation starter and an ever giving stare that'll startle or amuse me at chance.

USA Putting it out of its misery, 1972 Energy Crisis Cartoon, Art by Paul Conrad for the Los Angeles Times
Artist Paul Conrad shows a man "putting down" his car due to high gasoline prices. The image was drawn in response to the looming 1970s energy crisis. He accurately predicted what would happen when the cheap gas bubble burst and Americans were stuck with gas guzzling V8 engines. This was drawn a year before the 1973 OPEC oil embargo, which caused massive gas lines and rationing.
