ready-made satire it was like a fairytale. There were two giants, larger-than-life, and both apparently puffed up with their own pride and vanity. The metallic depictions of Galtieri as the "tin pot foreign general" and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as the "iron lady" are exaggerated, depicted in a style that intentionally alludes to the work of political satirist and cartoonist Ralph Steadman.[Comics Bulletin, 2015]
