A male college football fan and a college football coach stand in front of a drawing that looks like a complicated football play. The players are drawn as circles and Xs and each has a line showing the direction they are supposed to go. The fan asks the coach, "Our new offensive scheme sir?" The coach responds, "No! That would be the transfer portal!"

This political cartoon is titled "Played Like a Violin." Vladimir Putin is dressed in a tuxedo and holds a violin bow. Instead of an instrument, he holds a small version of a smiling Donald Trump and draws his bow across Trump's chest.

A man and a woman are in two-person cart on a railroad track. The cart is labeled "2025". The woman is in front and holds a glass of champagne. The man wears a pointed party hat and has a streamer in his mouth. He looks tired, like the party is over. Father New Year stands next to the track and sells, "Buckle up." The track leads into a cave labeled "2026". The entrance to the cave is ringed by sharp teeth and Donald Trump's face can be seen inside, his mouth open as if he is talking.

Father New Year stands by an open door. He is dressed in his traditional robe, with a scythe, ribbon that reads "2025" and carries an hourglass. He says, "Out with the old, in with the, uh oh." Instead of a human baby new year, in walks a smiling robot with the words "AI: 2026" in its chest.

The cartoon features a wildly comic caricature of Donald Trump at his desk in the Oval Office. His tie stretches wildly and is many feet long. He says, "They're eating the cats...they're eating the dogs...they're eating the babies..." Two male aides peek around the corner and one says, "I told Trump about the alleged Somali day care fraud."

A caricature of Vladimir Putin as a dark-eyed, small man sits on top of a headstone in a cemetery. The headstone reads, "Ukraine Democracy, RIP" and stands in front of a freshly-dug grate. Putin says, "Russia only wants peace."

This cartoon is titled "Trump Behind Bars." It depicts a piece of paper from the Epstein files. Every line has been covered by a dark-colored bar, rendering the document useless.
