Summary
KLEPTOROUMANIA.
Punch cartoon favourable to Bulgaria, the aggressor of the Second Balkan War. King Carol I of Romania points his pistol at King Petar of Serbia and King Constantine of Greece while he steals Southern Dobrudja from the helpless Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria. The title "KLEPTOROUMANIA" is a pun on kleptomania, the mental disorder of impulsive stealing for the sake of stealing.
Roumania: "SIRS, I WILL NOT STAND IDLY BY AND SEE THIS HELPLESS GENTLEMAN EXTINGUISHED."
Български: Политическа карикатура на тема Втората балканска война.
