A political cartoon published August 28, 2017, depicts residents in floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey holding a sign reading 'Everything is BIGGER in TEXAS.' A speech bubble states 'THAT'S NOT ALWAYS A GOOD THING.' The image responds to the historic flooding that submerged parts of Houston and other Texas cities after Harvey made landfall, with the cartoon using the state's well-known slogan to highlight the disaster's unprecedented scope.

A political cartoon published October 29, 2012, shows boats labeled Romney and Obama tossed by waves from Hurricane Sandy. The image uses the storm as a metaphor for the disruption to the final days of the presidential campaign. Both vessels appear damaged amid flying debris and rough seas. The caption reads Surge before the election. The drawing reflects the real-world impact of the hurricane on campaign events in the Northeast as voters prepared to decide between the incumbent and his challenger.
