A single-panel, office humor cartoon. The image features a man sitting at a standard office desk. He has grown multiple extra arms, appearing to have six in total, which are all simultaneously operating three different laptops and answering three different ringing phones. He has a stressed expression and is surrounded by piles of paper and documents, visually depicting the office humor concept of being assigned to three impossible projects simultaneously with competing deadlines.

"I asked for a promotion, and they gave me... more arms."

Satirical adopt-a-highway map of the United States showing major highways humorously “adopted” by woke corporations like Starbucks, Google, Disney, Ben & Jerry’s, and Patagonia, each with exaggerated DEI slogans such as “Pronoun Lane Ahead” and “Algorithmic Equity Corridor.” The map mocks virtue signaling by depicting highways as ideological battlegrounds.
