A man sits at a desk labelled “JOBS” and works on a computer. The artist has drawn this image in such a way that it is slowly fading away. The cartoon is titled “VANISH” and some of the letters are too fading away so that only the “AI” in the word remains.

This is a two panel political cartoon. On the left side, a professional looking woman and man speak. The man says, “Kamala wants to be much better prepared for her 2028 presidential campaign.” On the right side, the man and woman watch Kamala working on a laptop at her desk and the man says, “So she’s already compiling a database of potential staff, media heavyweights, and underperforming voting blocs to blame when she loses.”

This cartoon is titled “We are all living in an episode of the Twilight Zone.” It depicts Donald Trump as the evil little kid portrayed by Bill Mumy in the Twilight Zone episode titled “It's A Good Life.” Trump says, “I hate anybody that doesn’t like me! And if they don’t do what I say, I’ll send them to the cornfields! We like the cornfields. Don’t we. Folks?”A group of cowering, terrified elephants behind Trump say “Whatever you say Donnie!” A creepy jack in the box says, “Genius, Donnie!”

In this cartoon, Winnie the Pooh and Piglet are shown from the back as they walk down a road through a peaceful scene. Piglet says, “Pooh, why do we take these long walks in the woods?” Pooh says, “To get away from all the hateful and ugly noise!” Piglet asks, “Have we gone far enough?” Pooh says, “Keep walking!"

This cartoon is titled “Lowest Spots on Earth” and features three images with words above each. The first on the left is Death Valley and features an image of the desert with cactus, hot sun, and a discarded animal skull. The second is Marianas Trench and the image is an anglerfish, the deep-sea creature with a bioluminescent orb attached to its head. The third and final image is Donald Trump’s social media account and depicts a seated Trump, his tongue hanging out, as he types out a “racist meme about Obamas” on his cell phone.
