Steve Sack's 2019 cartoon portrays Trump as Tariffzilla, a Godzilla-inspired beast with the president's distinctive hair, unleashing destructive fire. Below, a chain of small white elephants, symbols of the Republican party, ascend a ladder to splash water from buckets onto the monster's foot, suggesting futile efforts against overwhelming tariff policies. The title 'Tariffzilla King of the Monsters' ties into trade war themes with Mexico over immigration and migrants. This sharp satire captures the chaos of Trump's tariff threats, blending monster movie tropes with political commentary on border issues. The image underscores how such policies loom large, dwarfing party attempts to mitigate damage.

Randall Enos captures the Venezuela political scene with a massive black elephant labeled Venezuelan oil reserves dominating the frame, its fuse-like trunk dripping, symbolizing potential explosion. Labeled figures include Maduro pushing against a structure, an Uncle Sam character in stars-and-stripes attire grappling with him, and Guaido tumbling below. The title Elephant in the Room underscores the obvious yet ignored factor of oil in the coup dynamics. Tags like Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, Juan Guaido, oil reserves, and US involvement frame the satire on international politics. The woodcut style adds a stark, dramatic tone to the commentary on resource-driven conflicts.
