Gary McCoy's 2018 cartoon shows Pope Francis in bed, labeled 'Francis,' smirking as he pulls a green blanket over a figure hidden under covers marked 'Church Sex Scandal.' A speech bubble reads 'WHAT UP?! COVER UP!' with a clerical collar on the nightstand. This satire targets the Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano's accusations, predator priests, pedophiles, and Vatican City coverups. The pontiff's grin highlights perceived zero tolerance failures and progressive stances amid clergy molestation claims involving Theodore McCarrick. The hairy arm and mustache on the hidden figure add a layer of absurdity to the coverup pun.

The cartoon depicts a large figure resembling Nicolas Maduro, with a mustache and gold chain, emerging from dark folds with explosions overhead. Two stern men in suits peer out, one with glasses, as a woman below in Venezuela flag colors reaches up desperately. Tags like maduro, nicolas, venezuela, chavez, gobierno, atentados, drones, and terror frame the scene of political unrest. The artwork by Dario Castillejos from 2018 illustrates the chaos of attempted attacks, with flames trailing from falling objects. The composition uses dramatic scale to show the leader's dominance amid crisis, while smaller figures convey public struggle. This piece satirizes the regime's handling of threats and internal dissent.
