Manny Francisco's UFO congressional hearing cartoon shows two aliens on a park bench, one reacting strongly to a newspaper about the US Congress holding its first UFO hearing in half a century. The shouting alien declares 'THOSE AREN'T REAL!' while a small UFO floats in the background, adding irony to the alien skepticism. This piece satirizes government UFO disclosure, blending extraterrestrial denial with political humor. The city skyline and park setting ground the extraterrestrial theme in everyday life, making the cartoon relatable yet pointed. Editors see these kinds of cartoons pop up whenever Congress dips into fringe topics, and this one nails the absurdity with clean lines and direct punch.
