Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	Cartoon about Evansvilles financial situation and the fact that people living inside Vanderburgh County but outside Evansville benefit from their proximity to the city but dont help pay for the citys services and amenities. A man Present Areas (of Evansville), wearing clothes that are torn up and much too small, stands next to a table, holding a bundle of I.O.U.s and a suitcase. His IOUs represent money owed to civil services like the police, fire departments, and sewers; the suitcase represents the citys chance to grow and remain competitive with other cities. A woman Certain County Areas Close But Not in City sits at the table peeling a banana business or job in city; she has her elbow on a purse labeled Annexation. A bowl of fruit labeled Among Many Advantages of City Now Enjoyed sits on the table; it contains items such as Jobs, Banks, and Events. A group of children representing Tri-State areas such as Armstrong, Darmstadt, and Daylight watch through a doorway and laugh at the mans torn and too-small suit.
