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.

Bottles line the shelf, beer taps and glasses on the counter.

A car drives through the arch, set against a backdrop of the Washington Monument and another structure resembling the Lincoln Memorial.

The image uses dry humor to highlight economic elements without depicting any figures, focusing solely on the structure and text for its satirical punch. Tags like Middle East, Iran, and oil underscore the visible high prices, while the arch form evokes famous landmarks.
