Monte Wolverton\'s cartoon depicts a doctor holding up an xray that reveals an intestine shaped like the Strait of Hormuz, complete with stars indicating blockages and inflammation. Trump peers over the top, his distinctive hair visible, as the doctor diagnoses intermittent blockages, polyps, and suggests consuming more fiber while cutting back on fast food. Tags like Iran War and blockade tie into the visual pun, turning a geopolitical chokepoint into a medical ailment. The piece uses dry humor to highlight discomfort in a straightforward way, with the xray\'s pinkish intestine contrasting against the black background. Artistic elements include the doctor\'s pointing finger and Trump\'s curious pose, emphasizing the satire without overcomplicating the scene.
This poignant political cartoon depicts a child in bed, gazing toward a window framing a massive orange moon against a starry night sky, while confiding in a seated adult figure. The child's speech bubble reads: 'How Can I Dream About The Moon When There Are So Many Nightmares On Earth?' A bedside lamp with a star design illuminates the scene. Through this setup, the artwork satirizes how youth anxiety from global issues—like wars, climate woes, and social upheavals—stifles big dreams and aspirations. It's a clever commentary on how earthly nightmares eclipse celestial hopes, blending humor with insight into modern parenthood and childhood innocence lost.

This political cartoon by Whamond features South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, a prominent Republican and potential Trump ally, wearing a cowboy hat labeled 'NOEM' and speaking at a podium. She declares, 'Actually, I think this ICE operation went pretty good,' while standing beside two gravestones inscribed with 'Alex Pretti' and 'Renee Nicole Good,' adorned with flowers. The image satirizes immigration enforcement, border policy, and the human cost of deportation, highlighting perceived political callousness toward migrant deaths. Through humor and irony, it critiques how politicians like Noem might downplay tragedies in ICE operations, making it a sharp editorial cartoon on current Republican stances.
The image shows robed figures using gavels to topple oversized letters that spell Roe v Wade. The letters break apart and fall into a pile of rubble. Only the word woe remains intact at the base. Dust and debris fill the air around the collapse. The scene reflects the 2022 Dobbs ruling that ended the constitutional right to abortion established in 1973.
