The cartoon depicts the Statue of Liberty, Uncle Sam and an AI robot seated in a 9/11 group therapy session on the 25th anniversary of the attacks. The Statue of Liberty holds a book marked July IV MDCCLXXVI and speaks of deepening loss since 2001. Uncle Sam echoes the sentiment of end days. The AI figure, labeled with a rising doomsday plot progress chart, retorts that the others have seen nothing yet. The scene uses national symbols to reflect persistent national trauma and emerging technological threats two and a half decades after the September 11 attacks.

The cartoon depicts a UFO hovering over a desert landscape dotted with ruins. Two green aliens inside release a trail of soccer balls toward a group of cavemen armed with spears and clubs. The cavemen react with surprise and aggression as the balls descend. The scene plays on the idea of soccer's mysterious origins ahead of the 2026 World Cup hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
