A woman stands at her mailbox and is wide-eyed after she has opened her heating bill. The words “April Showers” and “Bring May Flowers” are crossed out in the sky above her. Instead, the poem now reads, “February Chills bring March Bills.”

This is a two panel cartoon. The left side is titled “The Political Speech” and depicts a mouth with a long tongue and the words “We are doing great!” on the tongue.” The right side is titled “The Reality” and depicts an empty pants-pocket lining that is shaped like the tongue. A spiderweb is on the pocket and an American flag belt is on the pants.

This cartoon puts the reader in the sky looking down at the word “TRUMP” that has been made from dozens of files and folders. A woman in a sweater with the words “DOJ” on it says to a man, “What missing Epstein files?”

This cartoon is titled “The State of the Union.” A smug-looking Donald Trump stands at the podium. Everything else in the room is pandemonium. All the people in the room are wearing professional-wrestling style masks and singlets. They have been split into Democrats in one color and Republicans in another. They are fighting each other and jumping from the top rope. Chairs fly and burly politicians in the singlets tackle and grapple with each other.

Pam Bondi sits at her desk speaking on the telephone. A voice on the phone says, “Did you hide allegations that Trump raped a 13-year-old?” Bondi says, “Why aren’t you talking about the Dow?”

This cartoon depicts the White House with a sign out front, like you’d often find in front of a bank or school. This sign reads: “Time: 7:30 a.m. Temp: 41 degrees. Today’s distraction: Clinton depositions.”

This cartoon has seven panels. The first seven all depict people from different countries being arrested for different things. They are: “U.K. Prince: passing state secrets.” “Korea president: Abuse of power.” “Norway Prime Minister: Aggravated corruption.” “Slovakia presidential advisor: Epstein emails.” and “Brazil President: Insurrection.” The final panel is labeled “America” and depicts an empty jail cell with the door wide open.
