On January 18, 2024, a cartoon by Luojie shows Uncle Sam trapped waist-deep in two separate mud pits. One pit is marked The Middle East and contains a bone. The other is marked Ukraine and holds a skull along with a small object. The figure reaches out with a distressed expression while signs point to each location. The image highlights simultaneous US entanglements in separate conflicts at that time.
The image depicts a stroller labeled Kfir Bibas and a toy car labeled Ariel Bibas, both draped in spiderwebs. It responds to the ongoing captivity of the two young brothers taken from Israel on October 7 and held in Gaza with no news of their condition.
