HURRICANE HARVEY by Pat Bagley, politicalcartoons.com

The cartoon by Pat Bagley published August 28, 2017, depicts three Texas figures in cowboy hats voicing classic anti-government slogans in the top panel. Below, a FEMA worker in a raft approaches as the same figures, now perched on a Texas sign, exclaim that God heard their prayers and praise the Lord. The work responds to Hurricane Harvey's landfall and flooding in Houston and the Gulf Coast, where federal disaster response clashed with longstanding small-government rhetoric from Texas officials and some evangelical voices. It underscores the tension between ideological opposition to federal programs and practical reliance on them during a major natural disaster.

Romney cartoon highlights past FEMA comments amid Sandy
ROMNEY AND FEMA COLOR by Jimmy Margulies, politicalcartoons.com
Purchase Reprint Licensing
A political cartoon published November 1, 2012, shows a headless figure in a Romney-labeled suit with an abolish FEMA button. The figure stands beside a speech bubble referencing escape from a storm with only a suit. The image responds to Mitt Romney's earlier statements favoring elimination of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Hurricane Sandy made landfall days earlier, prompting federal disaster response. The cartoon uses the visual of a missing head and storm backdrop to highlight the timing of Romney's past position on the agency.
