October 10 editorial cartoons | The Week

published 10 October 2025

This is a cartoon that depicts the White House, drawn in an accurate and exacting style. There are three voices coming from inside. They say, &ldquo;There is so much hatred. It will be a miracle if they reach a deal.&rdquo; &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll keep talking to the Israelis and Hamas.&rdquo; &ldquo;We meant the government shutdown.&rdquo;

In this cartoon, a man sits in a chair watching the news on a television in his living room. The female newscaster says, &ldquo;A new public healthcare option will allow Americans to migrate to Canada for socialized medicine.&rdquo;

This cartoon takes place in Washington DC where two masked ICE agents speak to each other near a group of scared-looking brown-skinned kids. One ICE agent says, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s easier putting children in zip ties than it was storming the Capitol.&rdquo;

This cartoon takes place in the foyer of a cozy home where a woman is headed out the door into a fall day. She is putting on a jacker and leaves fall just outside the door. A man sits at a desk inside the house working at a computer and says to her, &ldquo;I thought you wanted to check out the latest A.I. artwork?&rdquo; The woman responds, &ldquo;A.I. as in autumn-inspired!&rdquo;

This two panel political cartoon is titled &ldquo;How It Started&rdquo; on the left panel. It depicts a man in black clubbing a Capitol P.D. police officer as a crowd with a TRUMP flag storms the Capitol. The right panel is labeled &ldquo;How it&rsquo;s going&rdquo; and shows the same person, now with an ICE badge, clubbing a frightened Lady Liberty.

This cartoon is titled &ldquo;The Duelists.&rdquo; It depicts a donkey on the left and and elephant on the right walking away from each other with their fingers raised, as if they are about to duel. A man in the middle represents government employees and reads from a piece of paper titled &ldquo;Shutdown rules.&rdquo; He says, &ldquo;Sigh. Brandish fingers, proceed 10 paces, turn, and commence blaming.&rdquo;

This editorial cartoon is titled &ldquo;Tales from the Front: Portland Edition.&rdquo; Two armed Narional Guardsmen speak to each other. One is eating a colorful donut. The other says, &ldquo;I saw a guy playing the bagpipes on a unicycle and someone selling homemade kombucha from a bathtub, other than that, it&rsquo;s pretty quiet.&rdquo;

This cartoon takes place in Gaza, where two armed and masked men stand atop ruined buildings filled with people labeled &ldquo;Gazans.&rdquo; One of the masked men says, &ldquo;Are we freeing these hostages too?&rdquo;

This cartoon is drawn in a wildly artistic, yet simple way. With swirls and swoops, it depicts a man working on a computer and they two have been fused together, so both look at each other, somewhat warily.

This political cartoon depicts a police lineup at the Department of Homeland Security. Two armed and masked ICE agents look at a group of five different Lady Liberty figures lined up, as if they are suspects. One agent says, &ldquo;If you ask me, they all look like they&rsquo;re here illegally!&rdquo;
