Peter Broelman's 2015 cartoon depicts a chaotic roller coaster labeled global economy, where a large panda bear marked China is falling off the top, its angry expression highlighting the bear market plunge. Businessmen in suits, representing Wall Street and stock market players, are thrown about in panic, some clinging desperately while others tumble with hats flying. The scene satirizes the China bubble bursting and its ripple effects on the economy, turning financial volatility into a thrilling yet terrifying ride. Tags like China bubble, economy, Wall Street, bear market, stock market, and global economy underscore the interconnected fears of that era's market crash.

On October 30, 2010, Paresh Nath's cartoon depicts two figures dressed as ghosts carrying a trick-or-treat sign toward a suburban home. A woman in a pink star-patterned dress stands in the doorway with an open-mouthed expression of alarm. A large speech bubble above them reads EXPLOSIVE PACKAGES. The scene occurs against a night sky with a crescent moon and a carved pumpkin on the steps. The image directly references the al-Qaeda plot involving explosive devices hidden in cargo packages on flights, discovered days earlier. The visual equates the disguised parcels with Halloween trick-or-treaters arriving at the door.
