Rick McKee's cartoon depicts a dimly lit museum where a striped-shirted thief, masked and wielding a hammer, targets a display case with a red gas can marked 'GAS,' overlooking iconic pieces like the Mona Lisa portrait, Venus de Milo statue, a large diamond, Van Gogh-style sunflowers painting, abstract Mondrian-like art, and smaller framed works. An 'EXIT' sign glows above, and a 'no' symbol sign hangs nearby. The scene uses tags such as Trump, war, Iran, gas prices, oil, museum to comment on how escalating fuel costs make gasoline more valuable than cultural treasures, blending humor with commentary on energy crises.

A political cartoon from May 25, 2025, depicts a Republican elephant figure as a doctor administering a massive syringe labeled Medicaid cuts into a man marked poor and sick. The elephant holds a clipboard titled GOP Beautiful Bill. Speech text notes possible pain at the injection site. The image criticizes proposed funding reductions under GOP leadership including Mike Johnson and ties to Trump-era policies affecting healthcare access for vulnerable populations.
