Graeme MacKay's cartoon shows a group of green aliens on the moon, clearly annoyed by the approaching NASA Artemis II spacecraft emerging from blackout. The aliens, depicted with headphones, phones, and drinks, make noisy exclamations like 'Yak Yak Yak' and music notes, while a sign pleads 'Kindly Respect Lunar Silence.' One alien laments, 'So much for the peace and quiet zone!' against the backdrop of Earth. This piece satirizes space exploration's impact on supposed lunar solitude, touching on tags like Artemis, moon, NASA, aliens, quiet zone, and communication. The far side setting emphasizes the interruption of silence by human astronauts.
Dave Granlund\'s cartoon captures the absurdity of potential toilet glitch in the Artemis mission around moon, showing astronauts drifting toward a floating porta-potty labeled as Plan B for future Artemis toilet problems. The scene includes a spacecraft, the moon below, and Earth in the background, highlighting backup plan necessities in space travel. With tags like mission around moon, astronauts, toilet glitch, alternate, and one toilet, the image pokes fun at logistical challenges in lunar expeditions. Such humorous takes remind viewers of the everyday hurdles even in high-tech endeavors like NASA\'s Artemis program.

John Darkow's cartoon captures the sting of high gas prices amid inflation and war, showing a yellow vehicle at a station with unleaded fuel marked at 3.95 9/10 per gallon, pay in advance. Speech bubbles reveal a conversation where one asks about not going anywhere for spring break, and the reply puns on being 'Spring Broke' due to gas costs. The image underscores travel disruptions, with tags like gas prices, inflation, spring break, travel, war, and economic satire emphasizing how rising fuel expenses halt vacation plans. This straightforward drawing uses dry humor to point out everyday economic frustrations without overcomplicating the scene.
