The cartoon shows Christchurch mayor Bob Parker and his wife in bed. Bob Parker's wife says 'Bob darling, the chances of a news crew bursting in here at this time of night are virtually nil, so please take that bloody jacket off...' Context - Bob Parker, it is true, seems to be wearing the same trendy orange and black 'site manager's jacket for the very many photo opportunities afforded post earthquake of 22 February 2011.

At top left is text reading 'Christchurch pupils return to school...' The teacher has written the words 'Nosey', 'Bob', and 'Double' on the blackboard and says to the children 'Our first test today... Sort these into Parkers we love and Parkers we don't'... Context - the correct answers would be that we hate 'nosey parkers' and 'double parkers' but that we love 'Bob Parker'. Bob Parker is the Mayor of Christchurch and is generally considered to have done a remarkably good job of demonstrating calm and cheerfulness after the two earthquakes of 4 September 2010 and 22 February 2011, as well as having been able to chose fitting words to express grief and despair at so much loss.
