Optimising for Vertigo

I don't know whether vertigo counts as an emotion, but if so, this is certainly an Expressionist cartoon. It's by the British cartoonist Giles, from the Sunday Express for 11th December 1983. As Peter Tory in Giles: A Life in Cartoons remarks, "the humour is eclipsed by the feeling of terror which the picture evokes. It is an amazing drawing and should certainly be kept well away from anyone who suffers from even the mildest form of vertigo."
