Jonathan Brown's cartoon presents a stark true-or-false cognitive test: if A (a fighter jet) starts a war with B (Iran), the result could be C (an oil barrel marked $100+). The map of Iran includes a hint pointing to the Strait of Hormuz, noting that 20% of the world's oil moves through there, underscoring control over this chokepoint. Tags such as cognitive test, war in Iran, oil prices, Strait of Hormuz, gas prices, and cost of war frame the satire. The artwork warns of economic fallout from conflict, with the jet trailing toward Iran and the oil barrel symbolizing surging costs. This piece captures geopolitical tensions in a simple, visual riddle.

A speech bubble from the ship warns to alert the president about icebergs, evoking the Titanic disaster in a clear metaphor for economic peril. Incorporating tags such as economy, debt, budget, inflation, prices, and costs, the image critiques fiscal irresponsibility. The artwork by Christopher Weyant uses simple lines and colors to emphasize the collision's impact, with water splashing and the ship's hull damaged. Such cartoons often highlight how mounting debt threatens stability, drawing parallels to historical maritime tragedies for satirical effect. The composition places the ship at an angle, surrounded by floating debt bergs, underscoring inevitable crisis if warnings go unheeded.

Bob Englehart's cartoon features a gas station sign with Trump at the top, showing prices for incompetence at 6.21⁹ and stupidity at 8.51⁹ against a blue sky with clouds. The tags Trump, Iran War, gas prices, gasoline, and gallon frame the visual pun. Such cartoons often tie political figures to everyday economic pains like fuel costs. The dry humor lands on how leadership flaws inflate prices, making it relatable for readers hit by pump shocks. With no characters, just the sign, it keeps the message direct. Tags like incompetence and stupidity drive the satire home, poking at perceived policy missteps without overcomplicating the scene.
