The task was clear: “Make the financial crisis understandable!” Many tried, and most failed. But the news cartoonists at Dagens Nyheter embraced the challenge, creating one of the newspaper’s most talked-about, prize-winning pieces.

"As a news cartoonist, I'm constantly looking for subjects that people are talking about, but that no one can really explain," says Johan Jarnestad, News Cartoonist at Dagens Nyheter. "When you're working on your own projects it can be a bit of a challenge to get them published in the newspaper, but this job came straight from the financial news editors. The goal was to 'make the financial crisis understandable!' This, for me, was a perfect situation."
