A young boy carrying an Easter basket stands before a large empty tomb carved into a rocky hillside and asks where the Easter bunny is. The April 1, 2021 cartoon by Bruce Plante uses the New Testament resurrection setting to contrast commercial holiday symbols with the original religious event, adding a footnote that the bunny is not the reason for the season.

On March 31, 2021, cartoonist Dick Wright depicted two Roman soldiers standing outside an empty tomb with its stone rolled away. One soldier tells the other not to worry because the event will be forgotten in a few years. The image references the New Testament account of Jesus' resurrection on Easter morning. The soldiers' casual dismissal contrasts with the significance of the open tomb in Christian tradition. The drawing uses the historical setting of the crucifixion and resurrection narrative.
