The September 2024 cartoon by Andy Singer presents three horizontal panels that place a familiar farm activity beside two industrial ones. In the top panel visitors gather strawberries at a pick-your-own stand and carry trays to an SUV. The middle panel shows workers collecting buckets of crude oil beneath drilling rigs and loading them into the same style vehicle. The bottom panel depicts miners pushing carts of coal from a tunnel and dumping the load into the vehicle. The signs read Pick Your Own Berries, Drill Your Own Oil and Mine Your Own Coal. The drawing underscores differences in scale, safety and equipment required for each activity.

On April 4, 2023, the cartoon depicts a massive patched rabbit representing artificial intelligence towering over a cityscape while holding a small traditional Easter bunny toy. People tumble through the air as dark clouds billow nearby. The speech bubble expresses alarm at the replacement of the holiday figure with an AI version. The image responds to contemporary concerns about AI displacing roles in content production, including artists, journalists, writers, and developers, with estimates of hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk in the US and Europe.
