Arcadio Esquivel's 2019 cartoon depicts a suited figure labeled under maduro,venezuela,power,venezuela-power tags, seen from behind in four panels. First panel shows one arm detaching with a pointed finger. Second has both arms off, one falling, the other on the ground. Third panel features arms and one leg severed, figure balancing on one foot. Final panel presents the torso seated amid detached limbs, all ends red like meat. The sequence runs from 'Maduro the day before yesterday' to 'Tomorrow,' capturing a progressive dismemberment in dry, straightforward satire typical of political cartoons.

Published January 25 2006, the image shows a US flag raised on a pole driven into a steep slope composed entirely of human skulls. The formation stretches across the lower portion of the frame, evoking the southern border. The work responds to ongoing migrant deaths during attempts to cross from Mexico into the United States amid heightened enforcement and physical barriers.
