Christopher Weyant's 2013 cartoon shows an IRS office where an agent smiles while offering a white t-shirt featuring a bold red target to a seated man wearing a 'Tea Party' shirt and tricorn hat. The speech bubble promises the t-shirt for early tax filing next year. Tags like IRS, Internal Revenue Service, audit, tax, Tea Party, and conservatives frame the scene. The drawing captures a straightforward setup with desk, papers, and a chart on the wall marked '2.9'. The humor lands dryly on the visible elements, poking at the interaction without delving into unseen motives.

Pat Bagley's 2013 color cartoon captures a luxurious yacht scene labeled 'THE RICH,' where three women embody wealth amid tax season complaints. One lounges in a bikini, another receives a massage, and the third gripes about the stress on her CPAs, lawyers, and lobbyists. A red helicopter hovers above the vessel on blue waters under a clear sky. The artwork ties into IRS, taxes 2013, April 15, tax day, and the 1% themes, offering dry satire on how the elite navigate fiscal duties through hired help. No deeper symbols lurk; it's straightforward visual humor on economic divides.
