A male college football fan and a college football coach stand in front of a drawing that looks like a complicated football play. The players are drawn as circles and Xs and each has a line showing the direction they are supposed to go. The fan asks the coach, "Our new offensive scheme sir?" The coach responds, "No! That would be the transfer portal!"

This political cartoon is titled "Played Like a Violin." Vladimir Putin is dressed in a tuxedo and holds a violin bow. Instead of an instrument, he holds a small version of a smiling Donald Trump and draws his bow across Trump's chest.
