This political cartoon splits into two scenes: top shows astronauts in orange suits, one with NASA patch and another with Canadian flag, waving and exclaiming 'IT'S A PARADE! HOW MARVELLOUS!' as they march from a crashed, smoking NASA capsule in water on a sandy surface. Below, a group carries a regal throne with a crowned figure wearing a T medal, surrounded by confetti and banners reading 'MASSIVE' and 'VICTORY'. In the background, smoke rises from a fractured globe labeled 'Iran' and 'Iraq'. The artwork, signed by MacKay for The Hamilton Spectator, uses humor to juxtapose apparent failure with proclaimed triumph, featuring waving figures and stern expressions in a sandy landscape.

This biting political cartoon by Daryl Cagle depicts Donald Trump in his signature suit, his red tie extending into a coil of red tape that binds a furious, bearded figure representing Iran, complete with an 'iRan' hat. The image satirizes US-Iran relations, highlighting how bureaucracy and sanctions create entanglements in foreign policy. Trump's calm demeanor contrasts with Iran's angry struggle, underscoring the Trump administration's approach to Middle East diplomacy. Through clever visual metaphor, it comments on the nuclear deal fallout and ongoing tensions, making it a sharp piece of political humor that's both insightful and irreverent.
