Political cartoons for March 12

Thursday's political cartoons include brothers in arms, petrifying prices, and the one-issue voter

This is a four panel political cartoon depicting Donald Trump speaking to a man dressed like an Iranian Ayatollah. Trump says, “I demand your unconditional surrender!” The ayatollah says, “Why? We’re an authoritarian dictatorship that oppresses women, run by nuts & rigid true believers, and we have a big secret police force.” Trump thinks about that and says in the final panel, “...Sounds great!”

This cartoon is titled “Going Up…” It depicts the shadow of an evil, vampire-like creature with a gas pump as a hand. The staircase it climbs has spindles that spell out “WAR.”
