This cartoon takes place on a sidewalk outside a fancy restaurant. A waiter leans out the door to the "Billionaire's Exclusive Club," where wealthy diners are visible through a window.

This editorial cartoon is titled "SMART APPLIANCES" and depicts a store shelf with various kitchen appliances that have digital displays showing messages. A man wearing a baseball cap with stars and stripes looks on with a skeptical expression and his finger to his chin. A blender reads "WAKE," a coffee maker says "...UP...", and a toaster displays "...FOOL...". A smart scale with a teapot on it reads "...THE..." and a microwave shows "...BILLIONAIRES..." Below, a smart air conditioning unit says "...ARE… STEALING”. A smart television displays a figure in front of the U.S. Capital with a dollar sign for a body who says "Democracy!"
