Marco De Angelis draws a sharp symbolic scene where a figure draped in the European Union flag clings to a bucking oil barrel marked OIL, legs kicking like a furious bull, smoke puffing from its nostrils. The rodeo metaphor nails the wild ride of economy and prices amid war in places like Hormuz. Europe looks desperate, one hand waving, mouth open in shock, as the oil tank rears up. It\'s a straightforward jab at how USA policies and global tensions turn energy into a beast no one can tame. Tags like symbolic, European, oil, tank, war, and economy drive the point home without fluff.

The cartoon depicts a figure with yellow hair and red tie, clearly caricaturing Donald Trump, diving headfirst from the sky like a falling bomb, mouth agape and limbs flailing. Below, two suited men run in panic, one asking if it's a bomb, the other identifying it as Trump. The title declares 'Donald Trumps Image is Plummeting,' playing on the pun of falling popularity. This piece skewers the Trump administration in the US for saying one thing then another, coming off as perverse and arrogant. It portrays him as thinking he's a king, the absolute tyrant of the world, with Europe and the world fed up. The dry humor lands through the visual metaphor, emphasizing global exasperation.

The cartoon depicts a figure resembling a pope, clad in traditional white attire with a cross, standing thoughtfully amid vast urban destruction. He grips a curved staff in one hand and pulls a wheeled bin filled with cleaning implements like a red shovel, black broom, rake, and brush. The background shows collapsed buildings under a reddish sky, suggesting widespread devastation. Tags like Pope Leo XIV, Vatican, economy, Europe, world, USA, new pope, and peace frame the image as commentary on leadership tackling global crises. The dry humor lies in the pontiff's mundane tools against apocalyptic ruins, highlighting the enormity of starting anew.
