WEEK IN REVIEW

PANEL 1 — “The Biden Birthday Surprise”

Theme: Biden turns 83, press pretends everything is fine.
Prompt:
“A cartoon of President Joe Biden celebrating his 83rd birthday, sitting at a table with a giant cake labeled ‘Don’t Ask His Age’. Staffers around him whisper while holding cue cards that say ‘You’re in North Carolina,’ ‘You’re the President,’ and ‘Please read the big words.’ Confetti falls awkwardly. Republican elephant in the corner saying, ‘And he wants four more years?’ Style: bold, colorful political comic strip.”

PANEL 2 — “The 98 Socialists Club”

Theme: House votes to condemn socialism; 98 Dems oppose.
Prompt:
“A comic panel showing 98 Democratic lawmakers inside a nightclub called ‘The Socialism Lounge’. Bernie-style DJ spinning vinyl titled ‘Free Stuff Remix.’ A Republican elephant at the door with a clipboard saying, ‘So you guys really voted against condemning socialism?’ Dancing donkey wearing a Che Guevara beret. Exaggerated satire.”

PANEL 3 — “Mamdani Goes to Washington”

Theme: Zohran Mamdani shows up at the White House.
Prompt:
“New York Congressman Zohran Mamdani arriving at the White House wearing a ‘Democratic Socialist’ superhero cape. Secret Service looking confused. A Republican elephant narrating: ‘When did the White House become a field trip for socialists?’ Add subtle humor—donkey fan club cheering him like he’s a rock star.”

PANEL 4 — “Seattle Elects a Socialist (Again)”

Theme: Seattle elects Democratic Socialist Katie Wilson as mayor.
Prompt:
“Comic panel of Seattle skyline with socialist banners everywhere. New mayor Katie Wilson triumphantly holding a sign that says ‘The Rent is Too High? Then Just Ban Rent!’ Citizens behind her reading a long list of new taxes. A Republican elephant saying, ‘Seattle never disappoints.’ Exaggerated urban parody.”

PANEL 5 — “Wes Moore’s Budget Fantasy Land”

Theme: Maryland budget problems & spending spree.
Prompt:
“A comic depiction of Maryland Governor Wes Moore standing in front of an exploding chalkboard showing: ‘Surplus → Deficit,’ ‘New Taxes,’ and ‘Audit Failures.’ He’s smiling proudly. A Republican crab (Maryland flag pattern) facepalming while holding receipts. Caption bubble: ‘He calls this leadership!’ Colorful, humorous political art.”

PANEL 6 — “Trump on Affordability — Message Received”

Theme: Trump shifts focus to cost-of-living.
Prompt:
“Comic panel of Donald Trump holding a giant bullhorn labeled ‘AFFORDABILITY’. Gas pumps, grocery shelves, and rent signs around him showing soaring prices with arrows up. Donkey characters plugging their ears. Elephant cheering: ‘Finally—someone talking about real issues!’ Comic-strip style, vibrant, punchy.”
