The cartoon depicts Kim Jong Un in a basketball jersey celebrating as a North Korea-labeled missile flies overhead. A uniformed man resembling Donald Trump holds a large net and declares nothing but net. The image responds to North Korea's August 2017 intercontinental ballistic missile tests that flew over Japan. Those launches escalated tensions with the United States and prompted strong statements from the Trump administration. The visual uses a basketball metaphor to frame the missile as a shot and the U.S. response as a defensive play.
