This political cartoon is titled “Profiles in Courage” with the word “Courage” crossed out and replaced with “Cosplay.” It depicts ICE goon Greg Bovino as a short, Hitler-esque character with a riding crop in his hand and a fascist-style jacket. The words “‘Commander’ Bovino” are above his head and he is surrounded by much taller masked ICE agents.

This cartoon depicts a group of eight penguins dressed in Napoleon-esque military gear on the ice of Greenland. One speaks to the leader, who wears a Napoleon hat, and says “At your command, sir!” The others sing, “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the stony beaches, we shall fight in the frigid surf, we shall fight on the glaciers, even as they melt; we shall NEVER surrender!”
