Political cartoons for February 4 | The Week

This is a two panel political cartoon with a boy speaking to his mom. In the top panel, the boy says, &ldquo;Mom, are we anti-vaxx or just afraid of needles?&rdquo; The mom responds, &ldquo;Why do you ask?&rdquo; In the bottom panel, the boy turns his head and his face is covered by measles. He says, &ldquo;Oh, I&rsquo;m just trying to connect the dots.&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts an elephant whose trunk has stretched much further than normal and become a snake with the words &ldquo;nationalized elections.&rdquo; The snake is eating a ballot box with a ballot from the 2026 midterm elections. A scared-looking donkey is in the background.
