The cartoon shows a map of southern states with a large black rain boot marked LA. positioned over Louisiana, its sole touching the Gulf of Mexico. Published amid the August 2016 floods that inundated Baton Rouge and surrounding areas, the image uses the boot to represent the state's immersion in rising waters. The floods, triggered by extreme rainfall, caused widespread damage and prompted discussions on climate change contributions. The visual ties the disaster directly to the Gulf region without additional figures or text beyond state labels.
