The title of this political cartoon is "YO-YOS." It depicts a close-up of a light-skinned hand, likely belonging to Donald Trump as indicated by a suit jacket sleeve and a cufflink. The word "TARIFFS" is prominently displayed across the hand. From the middle finger, a string extends downwards, connected to a toy yo-yo. The yo-yo is a dark, glossy color and has the words "STOCK MARKET" clearly printed on its surface.

Two individuals are seated outdoors at a cafe. On the left, a woman with long, light-colored hair, is looking at phone. She says, "FINALLY A SPACE MISSION CELEBRATING WOMEN INSTEAD OF A BUNCH OF MEN AND TESTOSTERONE!" A man next to her is reading a newspaper with the headline "BLUE ORIGIN." An illustration on the newspaper shows a rocket with a distinct phallic shape. The man says, "MAYBE YOU DIDN'T SEE THE ROCKET..."

This cartoon depicts a bedroom scene. A child with light-colored hair is in a bed with a light-colored frame and bedding. Floating above the child is a small, cartoonish figure labeled with a speech bubble saying, "I'M THE TAX FAIRY, HERE TO TAKE MOST OF WHAT THE TOOTH FAIRY LEFT."

This chaotic and politically charged cartoon depicts a scene of panic and destruction in Ukraine with scattered trees and distant, damaged buildings suggesting a war zone. A large bomb with the letter "Z" prominently displayed on its side is falling from the sky toward a figure that has already been impaled by a similar bomb. At left, President Donald Trump points toward the falling bomb and says "A MISTAKE!" A sign attached to the tree reads "SUMY"

This political cartoon depicts a claw crane arcade game. The mechanical claw, rendered in dark tones and labeled "ICE," is positioned above a group of diverse individuals who are looking up with expressions of worry and fear. These individuals are contained within the game's enclosure, which is labeled "INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS." President Donald Trump's hand, pictured as tiny, is at left controlling the mechanical claw.

This cartoon depicts two Secret Service agents standing outside a sycophantic cabinet meeting in Donald Trump's White House. One Cabinet member says ""THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP, SIR, I'M HONORED!" Another, who resembles Secretary of State Marco Rubio says, "SIR, I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION: HOW DO YOU DO IT?" A female member of the cabinet says "WE ARE IN AWE OF YOUR VISION!" Meanwhile, one of the Secret Service agents is thinking to himself, "THERE'S A WEASLES OUTBREAK IN D.C."

This cartoon depicts a financial planning consultation. On the left, a bald man with glasses, wearing a light-colored shirt, sits behind a desk with a laptop computer. He says to his female client, "I SUGGEST PUTTING OFF RETIREMENT UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE IS PRESIDENT."

This satirical cartoon depicts a zany medical examination room. President Donald Trump is getting his annual physical. He stands on a scale wearing only a pair of giant underwear. He is fat and has prominent man boobs. His scale speaks and says "HEIL TRUMP!" At left, a doctor stands next to a nurse and says "I'M USING A REPUBLICAN SCALE."

This cartoon, titled "Famous Last Words," depicts a stylized globe at the center. Surrounding the globe are numerous speech bubbles originating from various countries or regions. Each speech bubble contains the name of a place followed by the phrase "FIRST!" Examples include "AMERICA FIRST!" in a prominent bubble above the globe, as well as "CHINA FIRST!," "THE E.U. FIRST!," "RUSSIA FIRST!," "UNITED KINGDOM FIRST!," "JAPAN FIRST!," "SOUTH KOREA FIRST!," "MEXICO FIRST!," "BRAZIL FIRST!," "AUSTRALIA FIRST!," "INDIA FIRST!," and many others.

This cartoon is titled "The White House Egg Roll will use sponsorship." It depicts a scene at the White House during an Easter Egg hunt. A woman provocatively dressed like a Playboy Bunny is pictured in the middle of the frame. A group of children is at left gawking at her. A mother covers one of the kid's eyes so he can't see the woman. A sign on the White House reads "Your Ad Here." At right, a Secret Service agent whispers to a woman, "GUESS WHO DECIDED TO REPLACE THE EASTER BUNNY WITH THE PLAYBOY BUNNY."
