Taylor Jones draws a sharp contrast in this cartoon, with a pope-like figure in white robes and glasses, hands clasped, delivering the Sermon on the Mount line from Matthew 5:9 about blessed peacemakers being children of God. Beside him stands a blonde-haired man in a suit, halo above, mouth open in response, twisting John 3:16 to claim the Strait of Hormuz as a divine gift, or soon to be, labeled Don 3:16. The piece nods to Catholic Church teachings against a backdrop of Persian Gulf tensions, war in Iran, and oil exports disruptions. It's a dry poke at how leaders bend scripture for geopolitical gains, like controlling the Strait of Hormuz to spike crude prices. Vatican serenity meets brash claims, all in watercolor style on purple background.

The cartoon depicts a boxing ring where Uncle Sam, wearing a top hat and patriotic shorts, advances aggressively, punching a referee in striped shirt who clutches a white dove.

This sharp political cartoon captures an ICE agent, styled as a plucky cowgirl in a cowboy hat, galloping into a pastel sunset on her trusty horse, while a pack of frantic dogs—stand-ins for coyote smugglers—scatter in disarray. The 'ICED' vest adds a punny twist, perhaps nodding to the agency being put on ice amid heated immigration debates. With tags like political satire, border security, ICE criticism, cartoon dogs, western theme, and immigration policy, the image skewers the often chaotic world of enforcement, where even the bad guys (or dogs) get a comedic getaway. Matson's irreverent style shines through in this insightful jab at bureaucratic rodeos.

Publication occurs during a period of heightened US-Iran tensions over nuclear issues and regional influence. The visual metaphor suggests difficulty in permanently resolving the challenge despite repeated attempts.

Graeme MacKay's cartoon depicts a stage parody of American Idol called Trump Idol, where a crowned Donald Trump judges world leaders performing acts related to reciprocal tariffs. A figure resembling Mark Carney bows in a top hat, having performed a disappearing act on tariffs, while a kangaroo-costumed character waits, labeled as Australia's Anthony Albanese. A Statue of Liberty figure holds a sign for E Macron France, and a box reads Carney The Great with a Canadian flag. The scene satirizes trade, diplomacy, economy, trust, and international relationships under Trump's strategy, with a bald advisor announcing the next act to 'Your Majesty.'
