On March 27 2024 Angel Boligan published a cartoon responding to Texas Senate Bill 4. The image shows the Statue of Liberty being hauled over a tall brick wall lined with barbed wire. Armed officers labeled POLICE stand below near a patrol car. A red streak marks the wall top. The piece addresses the new state law authorizing local police to arrest migrants. SB4 had recently taken effect before facing court challenges. The visual places the national symbol in direct conflict with enforcement actions at the southern border.

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.
