Original cartoon in ink on heavyweight paper, probably about 1973. ‘Big Oil’, i.e. the big oil companies, is shown here as being in a position of great power. Eastern Canada is an area often suffering extreme weather conditions and fuel shortages. ‘Big Oil’ is shown making life difficult for Eastern Canada, ‘a little custom we picked up in the middle east’, referring to the use of oil embargos by some arab states to apply political pressure on the west. Titled in the bottom margin and signed by Collins at lower left. Paper size 38.5 x 28.5 cm (15 x 11 inch), image size 32 x 26 cm. Very good condition.
