Gary McCoy's cartoon depicts two bearded Iranian clerics inside the Iran Kwik-Mart, promoting a free barrel of oil with Slurpee purchase to handle surplus crude. Outside, a hooded figure dumps an oil barrel into a car trunk, lamenting U.S. blockades on shipping ports. The image ties into Strait of Hormuz tensions, oil prices, Trump-era policies, Iran's Revolutionary Guard, and Middle East conflicts, highlighting ironic solutions to energy surplus amid international sanctions and naval standoffs. Commercial ships and tankers face barriers, forcing creative disposal methods in this dryly humorous take on global oil dynamics.

The drawing includes the cagle.com signature in the corner.
