Democratic Donkey Confronts Devilish Reflection in Water
Margolis/Cox, PoliticalCartoons.com
A donkey wearing a blue suit and tie stands with arms crossed on stone steps before a government-style building. Its reflection in the foreground water transforms into a red devil complete with horns, tail and pitchfork. The image from Margolis & Cox dated June 26 2026 uses the classic Democratic Party symbol to present an internal self-view. No specific legislation or election from the prior month is referenced in the visual. The composition places the figure centrally against trees and columns with the credit line in the upper right.

D-Day troops advance past rows of crosses on Normandy shore
D DAY JUNE 6 1944 by Dave Granlund, politicalcartoons.com
The image marks the June 6 1944 D-Day landings. Soldiers in green helmets and packs move through shallow water. Rows of white crosses stand in the surf behind them. A sign displays 6-6-44 on the right. The scene recalls the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II.
In this political cartoon, a space capsule with striped parachutes lands in the ocean, bearing the sarcastic text \'Thanks NASA We Needed That\' amid a sea of fish-like shapes.
Bruce Plante, PoliticalCartoons.com
Bruce Plante\'s cartoon captures a space capsule\'s splashdown, complete with three orange and white striped parachutes guiding it to a blue ocean teeming with black fish-like forms. The prominent text \'Thanks NASA We Needed That\' adds a layer of sarcasm, typical in editorial illustrations commenting on high-profile events like the Artemis II mission. The simple composition, with a light blue sky and wavy ocean surface, emphasizes the moment of impact, shown by a small splash at the capsule\'s base. This piece fits into the tradition of political cartoons that highlight public sentiments toward government projects, using minimal elements for maximum impact. The artist\'s signature and website appear in the top left, grounding it in syndicated cartoon style.
In this political cartoon, Uncle Sam in Artemis II spacecraft peers at the moon, blending American patriotism with space exploration humor.
Margolis/Cox, PoliticalCartoons.com
This political cartoon features Uncle Sam, complete with his red-white-blue top hat, inside the Artemis II spacecraft, staring out at the cratered moon surface with Earth visible in the background. The image satirizes American space exploration efforts, highlighting themes of patriotism, lunar missions, NASA programs, humorous commentary, political satire, and the return to moon orbits. It cleverly juxtaposes a classic symbol of America with modern space endeavors, poking fun at the grandeur and perhaps the delays or ambitions of the Artemis II project, all rendered in a dark, shadowy style that emphasizes the vastness of space.
In this political cartoon, astronauts celebrate a marvellous parade from a crashed NASA capsule, while below, figures carry a crowned throne amid massive victory banners and confetti.
ARTEMIS MISSION WATCHES EPIC FURY PARADE by Graeme MacKay, politicalcartoons.com
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.

Boots on the Ground: When Military Might Crushes the Home Front Economy
BOOTS ON THE GROUND by Christopher Weyant, politicalcartoons.com
The cartoon shows a pair of massive military boots dominating the scene, one labeled 'Inflation' and the other 'Gas Prices,' as they crush small human figures on the ground, with a sign reading 'Middle Class' among them. A speech bubble from one of the crushed figures says, 'I thought they were supposed to be headed to Iran...' The title 'Boots on the Ground' sits at the top. This setup uses dry humor to highlight misplaced priorities in war, economy, inflation, gas prices, middle class, and Iran. The sandy ground and stormy sky add to the chaotic feel, tying into tags like Trump, negotiation, Strait of Hormuz, and domestic policy impacts.
