This cartoon takes place in a bedroom that is drawn like something from a Hansel and Gretel fairy tale. A tired man is in bed and his “No Kings” sign is on the ground. The man’s Uncle Sam hat is on a corner of the bed. A scary-looking elephant reads a story from a book named “GOP Fear Politics” and says “And the Antifa goblins will get ya if ya don’t watch out!!” The man in bed responds, “Get lost, creep!”
