Peter Broelman's 2015 cartoon depicts a chaotic roller coaster labeled global economy, where a large panda bear marked China is falling off the top, its angry expression highlighting the bear market plunge. Businessmen in suits, representing Wall Street and stock market players, are thrown about in panic, some clinging desperately while others tumble with hats flying. The scene satirizes the China bubble bursting and its ripple effects on the economy, turning financial volatility into a thrilling yet terrifying ride. Tags like China bubble, economy, Wall Street, bear market, stock market, and global economy underscore the interconnected fears of that era's market crash.

Jeff Koterba's cartoon shows a boy eagerly pulling a reluctant older man toward a roller coaster entrance, where the tracks twist like stock market graphs. The boy urges 'Aw, C'Mon, Dad!!' while the man exclaims he's an investor, not up for the ride. This investor roller coaster metaphor captures the thrill and terror of stock market volatility, especially amid stock market china influences in 2015. The artwork uses simple lines and colors to depict the entrance arch and looping tracks, emphasizing economic uncertainty. Tags like investor, roller coaster, stock market, and stock market china underscore the financial satire. Birds and flags add to the amusement park feel, making the commentary on investing risks both accessible and pointed.
