5 exorbitantly priced cartoons about the rising cost of gas | The Week

A man in a suit with a briefcase rides a horse next to two larger race horses ridden by jockeys. One jockey says, &ldquo;He&rsquo;s not part of the Kentucky Derby. With the price of gas, that&rsquo;s how he commutes to work!&rdquo;

A man in a car looks at a bicycle encased in glass. A sign on the glass reads, "Break glass in case of fuel crisis."

This is a four-panel cartoon that is set at a gas station. An older woman is with two adult children, who are filling up her car with gas. The woman&rsquo;s son says, &ldquo;We got this mom!&rdquo; Her daughter responds, &ldquo;Yeah, consider this your mother&rsquo;s day gift!&rdquo; As the cartoon progresses, it takes more and more money to fill up the car. The son and daughter say, &ldquo;And.. your birthday present! And your Christmas present, and your Valentine&rsquo;s day gift! And Arbor Day, and Flag Day&hellip;&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts a wild caricature of Donald Trump looking at charts held by an aid. One chart shows an arrow going straight up, the other straight down. The aid says, &ldquo;Guess which ones are gas prices and which ones are your approval rating&hellip;&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts gas prices at a fictional "TRUMP" gas station. "Incompetence" gas is $6.21 and "Stupidity" is "$8.51".
