Osmani Simanca's 2018 cartoon shows a map with USA, Cuba, Venezuela, and Latin America labeled clearly. Uncle Sam stands on the USA landmass, telescope in hand, gazing south toward a mustached man in a red suit on Venezuela. This figure, resembling Nicolas Maduro, raises a red card in one hand and a Venezuelan flag in the other, with a palm tree nearby. The Summit of the Americas tag suggests commentary on exclusion, while Uncle Sam and USA elements point to American oversight. Latin America spans the bottom, emphasizing regional dynamics in this straightforward satirical piece.

Bruce Plante's 2018 cartoon captures the stock market's wild ride on a roller coaster plunging steeply, with passengers in panic. A giant pencil labeled 'market upswing' erases the upward track, highlighting Wall Street volatility and the erasure of gains. Tags like stock market, roller coaster, Wall Street, stock-market-2018, market upswing, and investor fear underscore the satire on financial instability. The image uses simple lines and exaggerated expressions to convey the terror of sudden downturns, a common theme in economic cartoons that resonates with audiences watching their portfolios tumble.
