The September 2024 cartoon by Andy Singer presents three horizontal panels that place a familiar farm activity beside two industrial ones. In the top panel visitors gather strawberries at a pick-your-own stand and carry trays to an SUV. The middle panel shows workers collecting buckets of crude oil beneath drilling rigs and loading them into the same style vehicle. The bottom panel depicts miners pushing carts of coal from a tunnel and dumping the load into the vehicle. The signs read Pick Your Own Berries, Drill Your Own Oil and Mine Your Own Coal. The drawing underscores differences in scale, safety and equipment required for each activity.

The cartoon shows a military jet marked 'USA' with a pilot speaking in a speech bubble, suggesting relief over UFO sightings. Below, a red heart balloon reads 'BE MINE,' a blue balloon announces 'It's a Boy!,' and small alien figures pilot saucer crafts, one emitting 'Booo!.' Floating hearts and a yellow balloon dot the blue sky. This setup pokes fun at recent aerial object panics, blending party balloons with sci-fi elements for dry humor. Tags like UFO sightings, alien balloons, political satire, Valentine's Day parody, gender reveal joke, and fighter pilot caricature capture the whimsical take on real events.

Manny Francisco's UFO congressional hearing cartoon shows two aliens on a park bench, one reacting strongly to a newspaper about the US Congress holding its first UFO hearing in half a century. The shouting alien declares 'THOSE AREN'T REAL!' while a small UFO floats in the background, adding irony to the alien skepticism. This piece satirizes government UFO disclosure, blending extraterrestrial denial with political humor. The city skyline and park setting ground the extraterrestrial theme in everyday life, making the cartoon relatable yet pointed. Editors see these kinds of cartoons pop up whenever Congress dips into fringe topics, and this one nails the absurdity with clean lines and direct punch.
