Cover illustration: Vladimir Putin FROM THE EDITOR Is Vladimir Putin the Prophesied ‘Prince of Rosh’? Russia’s president is taking on authoritarian power and restoring the Soviet empire. Biblical prophecy speaks of a tyrant from that area committing some shocking acts. Is President Putin going to fulfill that prophecy?

Putin and his Kremlin cronies have used their THE PHILADELPHIA TRUMPET | FEBRUARY 2014 Another King of the East N HIS FIRST YEAR in office, Chinese President Xi Jinping has amassed a level of individual power not seen among Chinese leaders in decades. I He emerged from a recent key meeting of China’s Communist Party with impressive new powers that enable him to sidestep traditional bureaucracy and force through his policies. The announced establishment of a Central Reform Leading Group, for example, signified a major shift in control over the economy to Mr. Xi. Perhaps the most striking evidence of this power grab was the establish- ment of a new state security committee, almost certain to be headed by Xi. This will likely cement the president’s control over China’s military, domestic security and foreign policy. The Wall Street Journal says it would help make him “the country’s most individually powerful leader since Deng Xiaoping.” EMPOWERED China's new Xi’s success in consolidating power stems in part from his own ambition and president could be amassing shrewd maneuvering. But he has also been aided by a sense of crisis among the same type of power as China’s senior leaders. “Xi’s leadership style reflects … what appears to be agree- his counterpart in Moscow. ment among many senior officials that they need a more agile and forceful political might to seize some of Russia’s most lucrative companies, unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land like oil firm Yukos.

  • One Fine Sunday in the Funny Pages” Exhibit
    John Read is the creator and curator of the “One Fine Sunday in the Funny Pages” exhibit. A freelance cartoonist, John also teaches cartooning to children and is the publisher and editor of Stay Tooned! Magazine, considered the trade journal of the craft. The Comic Mode The comic strip provides a colorful and humorous respite from the serious and often tragic news that precedes it. There are many reasons for reading the “funny pages”; from the basic need to be entertained, to the desire to escape for a moment into what seems a playful combination of a joke and a sequence of images that illustrate the nonsense and play that generates it. Yet, what really constitutes the “comic” in a comic strip? Are they simply funny, as in Blondie, Garfield or Hagar the Horrible? Or do we sense underlying tones of irony, satire, political and social commentary as evidenced in Doonesbury, Non Sequitur, and Between Friends? How are we to understand the double entendre, the sting of wit or the twist of the absurd that infuses so many contemporary comic strips? It would seem that as in dreams, there are many levels to the comic mode. On the first take, the superficial or manifest appeal generates a smile or laughter. But as with many dreams and good jokes, there is the second take, a latent need to establish or defy meaning as embedded within the structure of the images themselves. The paradox or playfulness of the comic strip partially lies in discovering the truth in the nonsensical aspects of day-to-day living.
