Rayma Suprani's 2017 cartoon captures the essence of dialog in Venezuela under Maduro, showing a man's head with black hair and mustache, his mouth transformed into prison bars containing numerous reaching hands. The red shirt and intense expression underscore the theme of repression. Tags like Venezuela, Maduro, dialog weave into this visual metaphor, where hands strain against confinement, illustrating how political talks trap voices.

Luojie's 2016 cartoon captures the fall of oil prices through a roller coaster metaphor, where a barrel labeled 'OIL PRICES' hurtles down steep tracks. Arms clad in various attires—suit sleeves, keffiyeh, plaid shirt—stick out, gesturing wildly with thumbs up, pointing fingers, and a steering wheel. Exclamation points, dollar signs, stars, and hash marks fly around, emphasizing the turmoil. This image tags oil, price, fall, roller coaster, and oil producing countries, illustrating the volatile ride of global energy markets in a straightforward, humorous jab at economic instability.
