A political cartoon by Dave Granlund depicts an armored security truck labeled Security Escort Service surrounded by uniformed guards with rifles. A woman carries grocery bags past the vehicle while a speech bubble recalls cheaper times. The image responds to recent spikes in grocery prices linked to tariffs. Food costs for items like coffee and meat have jumped sharply. Families face tighter budgets as inflation pressures mount. The cartoon uses the escort motif to highlight how ordinary shopping now requires protection due to high prices.
