published 7 June 2025

This editorial cartoon is a play on the &ldquo;This is Fine&rdquo; meme, which features a dog smiling as the room burns around it. In this cartoon, the dog is labeled &ldquo;FEMA&rdquo; and wears a &ldquo;MAGA&rdquo; hat. The dog sits on the edge of a swirling hurricane that is labeled &ldquo;Hurricane Season&rdquo; while a smoky, flaming mass labeled &ldquo;Fire season&rdquo; burns behind. The dog says, &ldquo;This is fine.&rdquo; — 5 naturally disastrous editorial cartoons about FEMA

This political cartoon depicts a male television meteorologist in front of a map of the United States with a massive hurricane bearing down on Florida and the Bahamas. He says, &ldquo;Due to Trump&rsquo;s weather service cuts, all future forecasts will be based on my joint pain.&rdquo;

This cartoon takes place in a FEMA office that has been heavily damaged by some kind of natural disaster. A tree has fallen through the roof and a screen shows a quote from the acting FEMA director: &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t know there was a hurricane season.&rdquo; Two FEMA agents enter the room and one says, &ldquo;Weird&hellip;can FEMA clean up a disaster in our own office?&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts two workers from Gulf Home Repair in blue worksuits working on the head of the acting FEMA director. The acting director says, &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t know the U.S. had a hurricane season&hellip;&rdquo; One of the workers says to the other, &ldquo;Roof damage.&rdquo;

This political cartoon is dominated by the words "FEMA" and a U.S. Department of Homeland Security logo. At right, a man in a suit is labeled "Acting FEMA chief" and says, "I didn't know the U.S. had a hurricane season." Two men in shirts and ties are at right. One says to the other, "This is such a disaster, we'll have to deny him aid."
