Bob Englehart's November 20 2025 cartoon shows a courts-robed judge holding the law book and directing attention to a lightning-marked fissure. A cyan liquid labeled authoritarianism drips from the top banner onto the scene. The image underscores judicial efforts to contain threats to democratic norms.
Dave Whamond's cartoon captures Superman filling in for mom on her day off, looking utterly worn out while holding a baby in a mini-Superman outfit, a tray of food, and dragging a broom. The scene, set in a home with smoke from a burnt spot and a child nearby, underscores appreciation for mothers as the real superheroes. Mom lounges with a wine glass and cupcake, smirking at Superman's exhaustion. Tags like Mother's Day, mom is a real superhero, not all superheroes wear capes, children, family, and hard work highlight the tribute to everyday maternal feats over DC's iconic figure.
The cartoon depicts the Harvard University crest with its traditional books replaced by ones spelling out a profane rejection. Published amid tensions between the university and the Trump administration over diversity programs, the image captures institutional pushback.

This directly references recent disputes involving federal funding conditions and campus policy reforms. The artist's signature appears at the bottom left with a Cagle.com credit.
