A caricature of J.D. Vance appears with a large fly perched on his head. The fly carries labels reading debate on one wing and lies on the other. Vance is shown in a dark suit, white shirt and red tie with his name printed on the jacket. The drawing was released on October 2, 2024, one day after the vice presidential debate.

The image responds to the October 1 debate between Vance and Democratic nominee Tim Walz. That event featured exchanges on immigration, abortion and the economy. The fly serves as a visual shorthand for criticism of statements made during the debate.

The 2024 vice presidential debate occurred in New York and was moderated by CBS News. Vance, the Republican nominee, faced Walz, the Democratic nominee. Both candidates represented running mates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris respectively. The caricature uses the fly to reference claims about accuracy in those exchanges.

The drawing maintains a simple composition focused on the candidate's face and the insect. The orange background keeps attention on the central figure. The artist signature appears in the upper left corner.
