- Description
The cartoon is almost filled with the image of the moon. The cartoonist's comment is 'Fool Moon...bigger and brighter as it orbits closest to the earth...and Aaron Gilmore hints at a political comeback, Coincidence?'
The Full Moon on June 23 2013 was classed as a super moon, occurring when the Moon is at its closest position to the earth in a year. Coinciding with a Full Moon, as in 2013, it displayed in the sky as unusually large and bright.
Aaron Gilmore, who had been made to resign from Parliament earler, at the same time hinted that he would stand in Christchurch in the coming local body elections. Does this indicate that the old theories of lunacy and the moon's effect on some people's minds have validity?
