Kristi Noem walks down the stairs from a government jet holding a cardboard box, as if she’s just cleaned out her office. She says, “Special envoy to the gravel put?” A Secret Service agent in a suit says to her, “Don’t forget your blankie.” A sign off to the side points to the right and says, “House of Cricket.”

A man sits at a desk in his city apartment holding a phone to his ear. Drones with cameras hover outside his windows and a snake-like robot with an eye watches him from a crack in the floor. A small robot that resembles a pencil watches the man from a pencil jar on his desk. A camera is on the ceiling watching him, too. A voice on the phone says to the man, “This call may be monitored for quality assurance.”

This cartoon is titled “Kristi Noem’s murdered puppy Cricket finds out she was fired from her job as Homeland-Security Sec.” The cartoon takes place in Doggy Heaven, which is pictured as a grassy area with flowers, grass, and plenty of rabbits and squirrels to chase. Cricket is here, running and playing. Two rabbits and a squirrel watch and one of the rabbits says, “If she could treat animals that way…why should we be surprised when she does that to people!”
