This is a two-panel cartoon with the same young man on both sides. He wears a backward baseball cap and has a nose ring. On the left side, the young man is watching Tik Tok on his phone. Tentacles come out of the phone holding a Chinese flag and pierce directly to the inside of the man’s head. On the right side, the same tentacles come out of the phone and are holding an American flag as they pierce the man’s head. The phone says, “Problem Solved!”
