Jeff Koterba captures the chaos of 2018 politics in this roller coaster cartoon, where riders plummet down red tracks, their faces twisted in alarm. The speech bubble from one passenger confuses the 'govern by crisis' ride with the 'Wall Street' ride, tying into tags like government shutdown, Congress, and stock market. Amusement park elements underscore the wild ups and downs of economy and immigration issues. The illustration, dated December 18, 2018, uses bold lines and exaggerated expressions to satirize how political instability mirrors Wall Street volatility. This piece from the Omaha World-Herald blends humor with commentary on governing amid constant crises.
