The January 31 2025 cartoon by Ratt responds to RFK Jr.'s Senate confirmation hearing for HHS secretary. It contrasts a famous quote from his father RFK senior with a caricature of the nominee featuring a brain worm emerging from his ear and an anti-vaccine symbol on his shirt. The speech bubble twists the original idealism into a critique of unfounded beliefs about vaccines and public health policy.

The cartoon depicts a person in jeans and sneakers discarding a yellow ballot marked BALLOT into a gray trash can labeled THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE. The Salt Lake Tribune and caglecartoons.com appear at the top with the artist's signature. This visual responds to the 2024 presidential race where third party bids from RFK Jr and Jill Stein raised spoiler concerns among voters weighing Trump and Biden. The image underscores how many ballots cast for alternatives end up effectively wasted in a two-party system.

This political cartoon by Christopher Weyant, dated May 24, 2023, features a vast cemetery with rows of white tombstones under a clear sky. Two ornate arches divide the scene: one labeled 'Died Defending Our Freedom' and the other 'Died By Gun Violence For No Reason At All.' A man in a blue suit and a woman in purple hold flowers, standing back-to-back, each facing a side. The red title 'Lest We Forget' looms above. Drawing on Memorial Day themes, the image juxtaposes veterans' sacrifices in war with civilian gun deaths from school shootings and mass shooters. It critiques gun control failures, AR15 proliferation, Congress inaction, and NRA sway, urging remembrance of all needless losses.
