The cartoon shows a mustached man in a blue suit and red tie, balancing a teetering stack of bowls in shades of red, orange, and yellow, each labeled with words like corrupcion, derechos humanos, oposicion, pobreza, crisis humanitaria, sin comida, and economia. Liquid spills from the bowls as he leans forward, one foot raised toward a sharp saw blade on the ground. The image captures a sense of imbalance and impending fall, with the artist's signature 'arcadio' at the top. Tags like Maduro, dictadura, ecomomia, Latino America, and Venezuela frame the visible elements of stacked troubles. No hidden meanings jump out; it's straightforward visual metaphor for overload. Dry humor lies in the absurdity of the juggle.

Arend van Dam's 2019 cartoon captures the Venezuela crisis with a sinking ship named Venezuela, a man in a sash shouting 'I am your captain' from the top, while figures cling to the tilting deck and others flail in the water. The image uses the tags Venezuela, Maduro, dictator, interim president, Juan Guaidó, national assembly to highlight the political turmoil. The ship's bow points upward, with a periscope-like structure in flag colors, emphasizing the obvious metaphor of a nation going under. People on the deck hold on desperately, and swimmers raise arms, all drawn in simple lines against a blue sky and green sea. This straightforward satire avoids subtlety, making the leadership failure clear without added context.
