This political cartoon is set in a doctor’s office with a middle-aged man sitting on a medical table speaking to his male doctor. The male patient looks confused and says to the doctor, “I’m dizzy. I’m nauseous, my head is spinning and I feel like I have vertigo.” The doctor responds, “How long have you been a U.S. trade representative?”

This is a zanily-drawn political cartoon that is titled “Elon quits Washington to spend more time with his babies.” It depicts a wild-eyed Elon Musk with planets and stars floating around his head chasing after drugs that have been drawn with human arms and legs. Musk says “Come to daddy…” as he runs after a bottle of ketamine, a circular ecstasy pill, a capsule labeled “Adderall” and a magic mushroom.

This political cartoon is set outside and shows a "Democratic Party Male Recruitment Booth."

Other offerings include "Free F-150 tune-ups," "Free Beer," and "Free Scotch." Two televisions hang from a pole, advertising "WWE" and "MMA." On the right, a man in a red hat and plaid shirt stands by a grill, looking pensive as the woman dangles a steak attached to a fishing pole.
