Editorial cartoon © 2025 by Joel Pett, Pulitzer Prize winner for Editorial Cartooning in 2000, depicting a caricature of the waiting room from the 1988 movie "Beetlejuice" as follows: Beetlejuice is sitting on the couch waiting with the witchdoctor, the headhunter and others just as in the movie. Above them on the wall is a marking that says: "Department of Veterans Affairs" which is of course different than the movie. The entire scene is in black and white and very much just like the scene in the move with only a few changes: The receptionist is in blue suit with yellow hair at the window with a caricature picture of trump on the wall behind her. Along with the guy in the wheelchair at the window wearing a red jacket, this is the only color in the image. On the wall above the receptionist's window is a sign that says "NOW SERVING 1,847,013,181,001" Beetlejuice is busy trying to get a lower number than he was given while the guy in the wheelchair (a veteran) at the receptionist window is being told by the receptionist (as per caption at bottom): "TAKE A NUMBER AND PRESIDENT BONE SPUR WILL CALL YOU A LOSER" "NOW SERVING 1,847,013,181,001" #VETERAN #VETERANS © 2025 #Joel_Pett #Lexington_Herald_Leader #Pulitzer_Prize Winner #Editorial_Cartooning 2000 #Pulitzer_Prize Finalist 1989 1998 2000 2011 ©Tribune Content Agency About Joel Pett - Four-time Pulitzer finalist and 2000 Pulitzer Prize winner Joel Pett's sharp-edged political cartoons have appeared in publications worldwide, including the Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Times of London, USA Today and the Katmandu Times.

Editorial cartoon © 2025 by Joel Pett, Pulitzer Prize winner for Editorial Cartooning in 2000, depicting 10 equal-sized smaller panels in one larger rectangular panel, all showing a caricature of The White House in Washington DC with a fence in front and The Washington Monument in the right background. The images are all black on white background except for a smidge of green on the front lawn and a blueish haze around the building. Reading to the right and then down, from left to right, top to bottom: Each of the smaller panels shows what appears to be a conversation taking place between Musk and Trump with Musk asking the questions and Trump providing the answers as follows: Top row: Panel 01 - M: PARDON DOMESTIC TERRORISTS? T: DONE! Panel 02 - M: DEMONIZE ALLIES! EXALT PUTIN! T: DA! Panel 03 - M: PULL AID FROM POOR NATIONS! T: PULLED! Panel 04 - M: CUT VETERANS' CARE! T: LOSERS!
