This cartoon depicts a “Welcome to Illinois” billboard on the side of a road. The bottom of the sign reads, “A sanctuary state now accepting got away Texas legislators.”

This cartoon depicts Donald Trump outside the White House speaking to reporters. He says, “I’m proud of my economic record as president. I’m getting richer by the day.”

This cartoon depicts a grossly overweight Donald Trump glowering as six different people are on all-fours licking his shoes. There’s a sign nearby that reads, “Now Hiring: Commissioner of Labor Statistics.” Trump thinks to himself, “Tough decision — they’re all qualified.”

This cartoon takes place in a kitchen where a man in shorts is about to take his dog for a walk. He turns to speak to his wife and asks, “So, how bad is the smoke from Canadian wildfires today?” The woman responds, “Well, our kitchen smoke alarm just went off.”

This cartoon depicts a comic golf course scene. A man labeled “GOP” with a cowboy hat labeled “TX” stands behind a tree where he kicks a golf ball onto the green and closer to the hole. The golf flag on the green is labeled “Gerrymander”. There’s a donkey nearby too and a rat hiding in the hole.

This is a six-panel cartoon titled “Jobs created by Trump”. Each panel is labeled with a normal-sounding job title. The first is “Catalytic converter reclamation technician” and shows a man stealing one from under a car. The second panel is “medical research assistant” and shows a woman taking part in drug trials. The third is “aluminum retrieval engineer” and depicts a man picking cans out of the garbage. The third is “plasma resale specialist” and shows a woman donating her blood for money. The final is titled “marketing executive” and shows a man in a suit holding a sign that reads “Will Work 4 Food”.

This is a two-panel cartoon depicting a news broadcast delivered by a male anchor. On the left, he says, “Texas Democrats left their state to protest a redistricting vote.” The next panel shows him saying, “They fled to Illinois, one of the most gerrymandered states in America.”

This cartoon depicts a woman and her young son doing back-to-school shopping. They are looking at backpacks, notebooks, protractors, glue, and pencils. The woman says, “Here’s your first lesson. We pay for the tariffs!”

In this cartoon, Donald Trump wears a gas mask and says “Canada really needs to get its act together and deal with all their smoke.” He’s pointing at a pile of burning papers that include EPA guidelines, the Clean Air Act, climate science reports, the Green New Deal, and renewable energy initiatives. The smoke from the papers forms the words “Paris”.

In this cartoon, Donald Trump is drawn as a large bully. He grabs a smaller kid with a “U” on his shirt. Trump says, “Lunch money! Now!!!”
