Story / Additional InfoA whimsical approach to women’s rights issues. The artist is referring to the idea that women sometimes have, that they need a man to save them. The knight on the white horse is a doctor, as is the figure flying over a scene where Batman rides a steed from medieval times when women were chattel to be protected. The woman tied to the railroad tracks references old silent movies where the damsel in distress was tied to the railroad tracks awaiting rescue by the hero. The girl at the bottom with a fish tail like a mermaid’s holds on to Santa’s leg as a way of making Santa her personal patron and distributor of male largesse. The artist is taking a humerous approach to a serious women’s issues.
