Political Parables

Description

Lemonade Cold War  |  by J. J. Jonas

Competing children’s lemonade stands escalate into permits, propaganda, media frenzy, and a citrus-sized international crisis. J. J. Jonas ends the satire with the young rivals merging their businesses, sharing profits, and accomplishing the cooperation the watching adults could not. “Lemonade Cold War” is about competing cousins who go globally viral and lend awareness to gentle compromises.

Pink in the Middle  |  by J. J. Jonas

One flamingo insists on the right leg and another champions the left until a wave forces both to stand on two feet. Through J. J. Jonas’s partisan birds, compromise stops being surrender and becomes the awkward but necessary first step toward forward motion. “Pink in the Middle”is about two flamingos on opposite ends of the political spectrum.

Two Mayors and the Great Sidewalk Debate  |  by J. J. Jonas
