A cry of exasperation brings about results. In this context, the face of Greek society gradually changed. At the other end of this decade, the fall of the existing socialism (1989) puts into motion important developments worldwide, whereas in Greece the political and institutional crisis of ’89 sealed a period deeply scarred by the political polarization, the constitutional disintegration and the business-political scandals. It was a year of great optimism, but halfway through the ’80s this feeling was gone. In 1981, Greece becomes the 10th equal member of the European Economic Community and in the same year the political party “PASOK” (Pan-Hellenic Socialist Movement) wins the elections in Greece with the broad slogan of “Change” (consolidation of democratic freedoms and the overcoming of the post-civil war state).

Even though animal shelters are meant to house pets until they can be rescued, most people would prefer to have an ‘aesthetic’ pet at home, no matter how warm and kind one that’s been hurt before might be. Jenny cuts straight to the core of the problem. Not only in new comics but also in publications.” One thing’s for sure-we can’t wait to see what’s next for Jenny. This one is about how people treat a shelter dog that looks different than everyone elseĪs for the artist’s plans for 2021, she wanted to keep things a tad mysterious and didn’t give too much away: “I can’t reveal too much yet, but there is a lot planned.
