Dave Granlund's cartoon from 2018 portrays the Statue of Liberty as America's Foster Mother, raising a bouquet of vibrant flowers instead of her torch, while cradling cards like 'Happy Mother's Day' and 'Love You Mom.' The speech bubble says 'Thank You,' emphasizing appreciation. Tags such as Mothers Day, thank you, flowers, symbol, foster mother, and care highlight the theme of symbolic maternal love in American iconography. This piece blends holiday sentiment with national symbolism, showing Liberty in a nurturing light amid discussions of immigration and foster care.
