The December 2017 cartoon shows a large figure in striped trousers using a brick broom to sweep away a cluster of small figures. The image responds to ongoing US border wall discussions and immigration enforcement actions active that month. The visual presents the policy as aggressive removal of people from the area near the figure's feet.

A political cartoon published September 2, 2017, depicts residents of flooded Texas communities adrift in a boat surrounded by questions about their future. The image shows a damaged house flying the Texas flag in high water while people in a small boat express concerns over housing, neighbors and rebuilding. The work responds to Hurricane Harvey, which struck the Texas coast in late August 2017 and caused widespread flooding across Houston and surrounding areas. The cartoon highlights the immediate human questions that follow such disasters without offering policy prescriptions.
