This was done at around the time of the Franco-Prussian war, 1870-71

I always really liked this one:

France protecting itself
Prussia (as von Bismarck)'s swollen gut leaning on central Europe
Austria (as Kaiser Franz Josef) keeping a hand on its southern territories
Spain indifferent
Russia with an empty sack, ready to pick off some extra territory

2nd panel: When someone else does it, it's immoral.
3rd panel: during the holidays, it's helping out "your neighbours". (on the buildings: Old-Age home, Orphanage/ on the box: ramen)
4th panel: during normal times, it's Populism. (on the sash: "Increase welfare")
