This cartoon compares President Trump’s recent phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to one made by a mafia boss to extort or bribe an official. In the call, President Trump asks Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes for him, exactly the number that would hand him the election. He even threatened Raffensperger with criminal charges if he did not overturn the election, and told him he was taking “a big risk” when he refused. This is similar to scare tactics used by the mafia to force the compliance of local officials in racketeering or other conspiracies, such as election fraud.

“There is no Planet B,” is a popular environmentalist slogan, highlighting how humanity needs to protect the earth if we want to survive in the long term. However, billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have been investing heavily in space flight technology. In the future, they plan to sell tickets on these spacecraft to wealthy tourists, and eventually to s pace settlers. This cartoon portrays the inequality between most people, for whom there really is no Planet B, and the ultra-wealthy, for whom there might yet be. Additionally, the irony is that the people with the financial means to escape the earth are the ones most responsible for its pollution.
