This editorial cartoon depicts a frightened-looking man and a woman walking a scared-looking dog through a neighborhood filled with Halloween decorations. They are ignoring ghosts, a grim reaper, ghouls, scary clowns, gravestones, and spiders. The thing that scares the people is a screen that is tuned to the nightly news. The woman says, “Now that’s scary!”

This is a six-panel political cartoon titled “Trump Administration Late Night Comedy Line-up” in the first panel, with a little Donald Trump head saying, “We’re a joke!” The panels feature Tom Homan, Karoline Leavitt, Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Melania Trump. Homan wears a mask and holds a giant bag of cash and says, “Look at my mask! I’m an unknown comic!” Leavitt says, “how can you tell I’m lying? Because I’m standing here.” Patel says, “I get no respect, no respect…” as he pulls on his collar like Rodney Dangerfield. Miller is dressed like fascist and glowers as he says, “You vill laugh!” Melania Trump is in the final panel with her face covered by a giant hat and she says, “Take my husband..please.”

This cartoon depicts Karoline Leavitt holding a long piece of paper labeled “EPSTEIN FILES EKG” that resembles what a hospital readout would be for a heartbeat. Instead of a heartbeat, it shows Donald Trump’s signature five different times. Leavitt says, “It’s a dead issue! This proves it!” In the background behind Leavitt there hangs the image of a naked torso that Donald Trump drew for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday party.
