Mother Twists Three Little Pigs Tale Into Taxpayer Ballroom Critique
MOTHER READS THREE LITTLE PIGS STORY by Christopher Weyant, politicalcartoons.com
A mother reads a bedtime story to her child, altering the three little pigs tale to accuse the big bad wolf of lying about spending millions of taxpayer dollars to add a ballroom to the house of bricks. The scene unfolds in a child's bedroom with a basketball hoop visible through the door and a green lamp on the nightstand. This image responds to recent controversies over public fund misuse for private or extravagant projects by political figures.

TROLL FLEES WITH STOLEN MONEY by Zapiro, cagle.com
Zapiro's June 2026 cartoon shows an e-troll fleeing a Johannesburg toll plaza with a sack of cash while a grandmother reads the tale to children. The image references ongoing disputes over Gauteng's electronic toll system and missing revenue. The upper panel depicts the toll gantry and city skyline with the troll escaping. The lower panel shows the domestic bedtime scene with the book titled Joburg Tales. The cartoon uses a children's story format to highlight public frustration with the toll collection process.
