Jeff Koterba's cartoon shows a domestic scene where one woman at a laptop proposes a deal: she'll file taxes if the other compiles a spreadsheet for all their streaming services and passwords. The image highlights the growing complexity of managing multiple subscriptions in modern life, with elements like a steaming mug and scattered papers adding to the relatable chaos. Tags such as streaming services, passwords, taxes, spreadsheet, household division, and digital overload underscore the satire on how everyday tech tasks rival traditional burdens like tax preparation. The artwork keeps it light, poking fun at the password proliferation without diving into deeper politics.

This political cartoon by Christopher Weyant, dated May 24, 2023, features a vast cemetery with rows of white tombstones under a clear sky. Two ornate arches divide the scene: one labeled 'Died Defending Our Freedom' and the other 'Died By Gun Violence For No Reason At All.' A man in a blue suit and a woman in purple hold flowers, standing back-to-back, each facing a side. The red title 'Lest We Forget' looms above. Drawing on Memorial Day themes, the image juxtaposes veterans' sacrifices in war with civilian gun deaths from school shootings and mass shooters. It critiques gun control failures, AR15 proliferation, Congress inaction, and NRA sway, urging remembrance of all needless losses.
