Two Thai artists have created a cartoon, full of hidden symbols, to depict the ongoing efforts to rescue the Thai soccer team — and it has gone viral.
~~
It depicts 13 wild boars — representing the stranded soccer team of the same name — swimming out of a narrow underwater cave alongside dozens of other animals, which represent the countries involved in the rescue efforts.

Here's what each cartoon in the picture symbolizes:
•Wild boars (there are 12 small ones, and one larger one): The stranded boys and their soccer coach
•White elephant: Narongsak Osotthanakorn, the leader of the command center in charge of the rescue mission
•White horse: All the heroes who have been involved in the mission
•White seals: The Thai Navy SEALs who have been leading the rescue efforts
•Frogs: The cave divers who have been helping
•Blue lion: Rescuers from Britain and Belgium
•Kangaroo: Rescuers from Australia
•Panda: Rescuers from China
•Crane: Rescuers from Japan
•Moose: Rescuers from Sweden
•Tiger: Rescuers from Myanmar
•Brown elephant: Rescuers from Laos
•Eagle: Rescuers from the US
•Iron Man mask: Elon Musk, who has been tweeting his support for the rescue effort
•Swallows: Climbers from Thailand
•Dog: K9 unit at the scene
•Dragon: The team drilling into the cave and pumping water out
•Birds facing all the animals at the end of the cave: Journalists covering the rescue mission

Nice cartoon...two thumbs up...
Elon Musk, Ironman? LOL. Tony Stark didn’t take gov’t subsidies.
He spent a small fortune with bots on Twitter making himself look like the hero for testing his capsule in a pool in California. Really weird.
Musk is the most overrated con man of all time!
“When it dries out again some serious alteration needs to happen such as narrow passages need to be expanded, better drainage for low places, etc.”
Stuff like that isn’t done in third-world countries. Not sure it would be done here either except for closing the cave or charging admission.
Perhaps Musk could help by boring a few escape passages. This cave is a massive one,, hate to see it go to waste.
