The four-panel cartoon depicts a graduation speaker in academic robes addressing graduates. Visible text shows the speaker first shouting globalize the intifada then shifting to statements about free inquiry and campus safety.

A new political cartoon by Margolis & Cox shows the statue of John Harvard seated with hand to chin, pondering accusations of antisemitism on campus. Two donkey figures, one wearing a pink bow and the other a red Harvard cap, stand at the base holding books. The speech bubble reads: I WONDER WHAT PURITAN JOHN HARVARD WOULD THINK ABOUT THE ACCUSATIONS OF ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUS. The April 2025 cartoon references ongoing debates at Harvard and other universities about campus protests, bias incidents, and responses to events involving Israel and Hamas.
The cartoon depicts a keffiyeh-wearing protester with a campus protests sign next to a sad graduate in a 2024 gown holding a diploma. A green COVID monster stands nearby as a police officer in riot gear watches from below the college commencements banner with money floating near a plant.
