We see enormous mountains, some tree covered, around the periphery of the page, several extending well above the visible top of the page, others not.
They are each labeled with a term for these various civilizations, religions, or great powers: Asia, Islam, Russia, China, India, Europe, Japan, The Middle East, etc.
In the generous center of the page a flat expanse, a flat desert like plain, really, cactus, tumbleweeds, etc.
The viewer, looking at the cartoon from somewhat above ground level, can see in the foreground.
A newspaper on the plain, opened as if being read, but we see the front and back covers only of that section A.
The words New York Times are visible across the top of the front page. Across the top of the back page the words US Edition.
A monologue bubble, coming up from beneath the open, flat, newspaper reads: The world is flat.
L S Lowry's matchstick man - type legs and feet protrude beneath the newspaper, in the nearer foreground, flat on the ground
