A Black man hunched over bears chains around his wrists and ankles, his back carrying whip-scar letters reading GET OVER IT in Bagley's 2025 piece. A snake labeled RACISM coils nearby. The image directly answers those who tell Black Americans to move past the history of slavery and systemic racism.

A political cartoon by Pat Bagley published December 2, 2019, shows a person wearing a red cap labeled CONSPIRACY THEORIES and a black T-shirt reading Trump 2020. The figure gives a thumbs-up gesture. The image appeared in The Salt Lake Tribune and was distributed via Cagle Cartoons. It was created during the early phase of the 2020 presidential campaign cycle. The drawing uses the familiar red cap style associated with Trump supporters but replaces the usual slogan with text about conspiracy theories.
Donald Trump appears in the lower left asking about a Nobel Prize. Signs indicate a nuke-free Korea with an arrow pointing along a winding path through mountains. Lightning flashes above the route. The scene aligns with talks in April 2018 between the United States and North Korea on ending nuclear weapons programs.
