Jeff Koterba's political cartoon captures the rare bipartisan interest in UFOs, posing a humorous question: which is easier to believe in, aliens or bipartisanship?

John Darkow's political cartoon captures a classic UFO coverup scenario with a twist of climate change satire. Two green aliens inside a yellow flying saucer hover near a fiery, overheating Earth, complete with rising heat waves and a darkened atmosphere. One alien declares they're discovered and the climate will fry their skin off, prompting a quick exit. This blends extraterrestrial humor with environmental warnings, as the space background features stars and a crescent moon. The image underscores timely topics like UFO congressional hearings and global warming, delivered in Darkow's sketchy, colorful style for editorial impact.

Rivers draws a colossal UFO dominating the sky above a cityscape, its underside detailed with mechanical textures and a central depression, while the top features antenna-laden structures. The caption "They want to know what happened to their weather balloons..." flips the script on recent events involving NORAD, weather balloons, spying, UFO, aliens, UAP, interception, shoot downs, USAF, national defense, and the Chinese spy balloon. Cartoonists love these timely absurdities, where real-world tensions over aerial intrusions get a humorous extraterrestrial twist. The image captures that dry irony, with the alien craft's imposing presence contrasting the mundane city below, poking fun at official explanations and public paranoia. It's a classic setup for editorial commentary on surveillance and overreactions.
