Description

The Spanish university is drawn as a donkey-drawn hearse. The vehicle features the Falange insignia inscribed alongside the phrase: “Universidad Franquista. Biba Isabel y Fernando. Biba el Imperio.” The hearse is driven by a priest, a member of the economic elite, a military officer, and a Falange member holding a parrot, representing the piracy that fascism and the empire embodied. However, the students manage to escape through a back door. The caption reads, “In search of Teachers.”
La universidad española está dibujada como un coche fúnebre tirado por un burro. El vehículo cuenta con la insignia de Falange inscrita junto a la frase: "Universidad Franquista. Biba Isabel y Fernando. Biba el Imperio". El coche fúnebre es conducido por un sacerdote, un miembro de la élite económica, un oficial militar y un miembro de Falange que sostiene un loro, que representa la piratería que encarnaron el fascismo y el imperio. Sin embargo, los estudiantes logran escapar por una puerta trasera. El pie de foto dice: "En busca de maestros".
