On March 27 2024 Angel Boligan published a cartoon responding to Texas Senate Bill 4. The image shows the Statue of Liberty being hauled over a tall brick wall lined with barbed wire. Armed officers labeled POLICE stand below near a patrol car. A red streak marks the wall top. The piece addresses the new state law authorizing local police to arrest migrants. SB4 had recently taken effect before facing court challenges. The visual places the national symbol in direct conflict with enforcement actions at the southern border.

John Darkow's 2022 cartoon captures a UFO congressional hearing with a uniformed official pointing at a screen labeled 'UFO Hearing,' displaying a small flying saucer amid a dark backdrop. The speech bubble delivers dry wit: inability to disprove aliens' existence, but their non-contact suggests superior intelligence. Tags like Pentagon, VAP, aliens, congressional hearing, trnd, and UFO frame this political satire, poking at human hubris in extraterrestrial contexts. The image, dated 2022-05-19, blends timely relevance with caricatured military decorum, emphasizing the absurdity in official testimonies on unidentified phenomena.

The cartoon depicts Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp with his head on a football player's body numbered zero, carrying a ballot box off a field while a larger voter figure in a Georgia helmet watches. Kemp's speech bubble states he cannot win so he is taking the ballot box and going home. The image responds to the March 2021 signing of Senate Bill 202, a sweeping Georgia election law that tightened voting rules including limits on absentee ballots and early voting access after the 2020 election. The visual metaphor frames the legislation as a retreat by Republicans unable to secure victories under prior rules.
