Peter Kuper's illustration captures an urban alien encounter where a small extraterrestrial, holding a device, steps down from a UFO toward a masked man gesturing in a cityscape. The speech bubble delivers dry election humor: 'You may want to wait and ask again in November.' This sci-fi political cartoon plays on the classic 'take me to your leader' trope, tying it to the 2020 election cycle visible in the date. The masked man adds a timely layer, reflecting the era's realities without overstepping into speculation. Composition keeps it simple, with blue tones enhancing the night scene and buildings in the background framing the interaction neatly.

A political cartoon published May 15, 2020, shows the United States Postal Service logo grasping a 2020 presidential ballot while a speech bubble proclaims it will save the day. The image highlights the service's role in handling mail-in ballots during the coronavirus pandemic. At the time, states expanded absentee voting options ahead of the November election to reduce in-person contact. The cartoon supports the Postal Service as essential to voter participation. It reflects debates over funding and capacity for increased mail ballot volume.
