Jonathan Brown's cartoon presents a stark true-or-false cognitive test: if A (a fighter jet) starts a war with B (Iran), the result could be C (an oil barrel marked $100+). The map of Iran includes a hint pointing to the Strait of Hormuz, noting that 20% of the world's oil moves through there, underscoring control over this chokepoint. Tags such as cognitive test, war in Iran, oil prices, Strait of Hormuz, gas prices, and cost of war frame the satire. The artwork warns of economic fallout from conflict, with the jet trailing toward Iran and the oil barrel symbolizing surging costs. This piece captures geopolitical tensions in a simple, visual riddle.

Tags like Iran, Hormuz, Trump, MAGA Terror, Oil War, Fascism scream the point without words. It's classic cartoon exaggeration, poking at ego-driven foreign policy blunders. The red cape flutters, the water splashes—pure visual punch. No subtlety here, just sharp commentary on power plays in troubled waters.

Graeme MacKay\'s cartoon depicts Donald Trump absorbed in unveiling a golden Arc de Trump, a parody of the Arc de Triomphe, topped with his own figure and cherubs, while ignoring flying papers labeled with crises like ICE crisis, Ukraine quagmire, Strait of Hormuz quagmire, and cost of living crisis. The monument includes busts of Don Jr, Ivanka, MAGA, and Jared, emphasizing Trump\'s priorities on vanity over urgent matters. A hand unveils blueprints for Donald J. Trump Arc de Victoire, highlighting the satire on legacy obsession amid global quagmires. The dry humor underscores how such self-focus distracts from real-world affordability and international issues, a common theme in editorial cartoons critiquing political figures.

Ed Wexler's cartoon captures a man clearly modeled after a public figure, dressed in an FBI sweatshirt, balancing beers on his head and in his hands, with tags like kash, patel, the atlantic, drinking, alcohol, beer, obvious intoxication, and absences. The figure, showing signs of inebriation with wide eyes and a goofy grin, holds a glass in each hand while more pints teeter atop his spiky hair, foam spilling everywhere. Speech bubbles reveal his slurred plan to sue the Atlantic for writing about his drinking, followed by the punchline 'I'll drink to that!' Bubbles and stars float around, emphasizing the dizzy, drunken state. The signature at the bottom credits the artist and site, grounding the satire in visible elements of alcohol-fueled absurdity.
