R.J. Matson's IRS staff reductions cartoon shows a postal worker hauling a huge blue bag marked 'TAX RETURNS' and 'United States Postal Service' up grand steps to a columned building signed 'DOGE IRS Internal Revenue Service.' An older man in a suit at the top yells, 'Didn't anyone tell you? Nobody works here anymore!' Papers spill from the bag as the worker climbs. This dry humor piece captures government understaffing with a sharp, insider poke at federal bureaucracy, blending tax season frustration with visual satire on empty offices. The Doge meme twist on the IRS logo adds a layer of modern absurdity to the scene.
