Dario Castillejos captures Nicolas Maduro in a dark bedroom, his face twisted in distress as he grips the Venezuela flag like a blanket. Beneath it, a chaotic crowd of gente from the pueblo surges with protestas, holding signs demanding 'FUERA' and chanting 'VIVA VENEZUELA.' The scene highlights tensions in the pais under Maduro's gobierno, a nod to the izquierda path set by Hugo Chavez. Stars on the flag gleam amid thrown objects, suggesting unrest boiling over. This 2017 cartoon nails the nightmare of leadership amid public fury, with scribbled lines adding raw energy to the satire.

The Sandy Hook Elementary shooting on December 14, 2012, killed 20 children and six adults, reigniting the national debate over assault weapons and the NRA's influence. The cartoon responds by parodying the 1983 film A Christmas Story, replacing the coveted Red Ryder BB gun with an AR-15 as the boy's holiday gift. It critiques the normalization of military-style rifles in American gun culture and the organization's resistance to restrictions.
