Joe Heller's June 26, 2026 cartoon depicts a large remote control as the ultimate Father's Day gift. Buttons on the device assign household chores to family members including kids mowing the lawn, taking out garbage, walking the dog, and fixing a leaky faucet. Additional buttons and speech bubbles extend offers of cold drinks, restaurant visits, couch relaxation, back rubs, naps, and fishing permission. A disclaimer notes that batteries last only one day. The image presents a humorous take on domestic tasks and leisure for fathers.
RJ Matson's cartoon depicts President Trump as Cinderella, lounging on a throne while a grinning Congress elephant, adorned with a sash and dollar-sign epaulets, slips a black shoe onto his foot, exclaiming 'It's a perfect fit!!' A box labeled 'White House Ballroom' overflows with 'Taxpayer Funds,' and a $400 million tag dangles nearby. This sharp satire targets Congressional Republicans' approval of hefty taxpayer funding for White House upgrades, echoing the fairy tale but with a political twist on government spending and Donald Trump's influence. The White House Correspondents Association Dinner at the Hilton Hotel lurks in the background tags, highlighting budget priorities amid fiscal debates.
Paresh Nath's January 2026 predictions panel series opens with a fortune teller viewing a crystal ball.

On March 11 2022 FIFA barred Russia from the World Cup and other soccer competitions due to the invasion of Ukraine.

The image captures the immediate sporting consequences of the military action that began weeks earlier.
Arcadio Esquivel's 2019 cartoon portrays a figure resembling Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan leader, as a tyrant clutching a massive, spiked club smeared in red, dripping blood-like substance. The tags Maduro, Venezuela, tyrant, Latin America, dictator, and socialism frame this piece as a pointed critique of authoritarian rule. The man's stern expression and formal attire contrast with the brutal weapon, highlighting themes of power abuse. Published amid Venezuela's political turmoil, the image uses exaggerated features to satirize dictatorship. No text labels the figure directly, but the visual elements scream oppression. This work fits into broader Latin American political satire, emphasizing the bloody cost of socialist policies under Maduro's regime. The artist's signature anchors the simple composition, making it shareable for editorial pages.
