In this thread, I will post cartroons drawn by German boomer cartoonist Götz Widenroth and try to explain them as good as I can. Feel free to contribute boomer-humor from your country, or from Germany or anything else.

Person to the left is a priest affixed to a crucifix. Sign over his head says
>Hear hangs a child molester. t. the green party
On the right, we see a toad. Her hairdo and warts make clear that this toad is supposed to be a caricature of green party politician Claudia Roth. Sign over her head says
>Here hangs the green part. t. a molested child.
The green thing in the toads mouth is a bludgeon. It is labeled "the moral bludgeon". In German "The moral bludgeon" is a figure of speech that symbolises the judgement "x is immoral" applied as an argument. The text at the bottom says
"You won't believe how much I enjoy the sudden silence".

The person on the left dressed in green has the logo of the green party youth organisation on his green hoodie. The sign over the pillary says "I campaigned for office without the permission of the green partie's youth organisation!". The person to the far right has the antifa logo on his black hoodie. The basket in front of the pillary holds AfD-posters. AfD is a German right-wing party. Text at the bottom says "Freedom of speech, freedom of assambly and competition in politics in the real Federal Republic Of Germany. The phrase used for "real" is "real existierend", a term that was prominently used in the sense of "real socialism" in the German Democratic Republic, i.e. former East Germany.

The left-most figure is "sleepy Michael" or "German Michael", a common personification of Germany. A few words about "German Michael": "German Michael" is dense, reacts very slowly, is asleep most of the day and is very reluctant to act. He is easily recognisable by his bedcap. Here, he we see him chained to the fence by §§, while a colored man with a green shirt (Arabic?) stabs him with a knife. As blood gushes out of German Michael's multiple wounds, he seems to have been stabbed multiple times. From the window in the background, a woman yells "He's killing him! Do something, Mr. prosecutor!" The woman wears a blue-and-red pullover. Blue and red are the colors German right-wing party AfD uses. A man in a suite has his face turned towards her and his mouth open, but we can't tell what he says. In the window to the far right, we see German chancelor Angela Merkel. We see only half her face, apparently, she tries to look, but not to be seen. She wears a mauve helmet. This caricaturist always draws Angela Merkel with a mauve helmet. My interpretation is that it is supposed to resemble both her hairdo and a Viet-Cong-helmet. The text at the bottom says "Why? [should I do anything?] This is an obvious case of self-defense, you racist!"

To the left, we see a green figure holding a joint. As we know by now, green figures are green party politicians and their followers. In his hand, the green man holds a joint. He says "Hey, world climate is suffering so much now, right dude? And because of that, emission limits are
even tighter now, right dude?!". In the background, to the right, a monochrome light-blue balding man with a slide rule and calipers thinks "Software... only software can save us now!". On the table between the two figures, we see the model of a car, in dark green and black. The writing on the car says "Emission limits: ultra-low!!!!". The text below the drawing reads "Automotive engineer under the thumb of climate-weed-smoking world-rescuers."
