15. Bad Fortune

This fortune telling session is going to end badly for somebody. Or maybe it already has? There's not enough information here to know what's what. Is the noose intended for the fortune teller, or for the gentleman who's there to receive his fortune?

As with several of these drawings, there's a wide range of interpretations here. One is that if you knew your future today, you'd have no reason to go on living, so you might as well end it all. Another is that in these uncertain times, predicting what might happen in the future has become impossible, therefore fortune tellers no longer have a place in the modern world. Would it be worse to know your future in detail, or not be able to predict anything at all? What would drive you closer to the rope?
