The image is a two-panel political cartoon. In the first panel, a man labeled "THE RICH" is seated at a table with a plate in front of him, smiling widely. A large elephant, dressed as a waiter, is holding a plate with a piggy bank labeled "TAX CUTS" on it. The second panel shows a family labeled "WORKING CLASS" at the same table, with a shocked expression on their faces. The elephant waiter is now holding a plate with a yellow bird labeled "PBS" on it. The family is screaming "AAAAAAHHH!" The cartoon uses visual metaphors to comment on tax cuts and their impact on different social classes.

The image is a political cartoon depicting a scene with several elements. In the foreground, a character resembling Donald Trump, dressed in a blue suit and red tie, is holding a torch and pointing towards the Statue of Liberty. He is shouting, "SHE'S A WITCH...!" The Statue of Liberty is shown bound with ropes, with a baseball bat strapped to its back, and the pedestal labeled "DEMOCRACY." In the background, a group of people, some wearing red caps, are marching with torches, suggesting a protest or rally. The cartoon uses symbolism to convey a message about political figures and democracy.

The cleaning continues
So when cleaning my husband's desks (work and home) and bag, I've been finding some money...
Yeah, coins, paper, foreign as well as US, savings bonds, gift cards and certificates, and credit/bank cards. Need to figure out if'n there's anything valuable here and what to do with the foreign currency, any ideas? Paper currency's current stack is over $200, plus what I have in my wallet, and what little bit I've spent so far.
I also really need help sorting here, I've collected 9 collapsible cube storage bins worth of stuff that needs further sorting, and I'm not done yet, though I am running out of places to put stuff. Anyone in #STL up for a sorting party, especially someone who wants to take a lead on figuring out how best to further sort this stuff? I'll pay for the pizza, and within reason, anyone what helps can take what they want.
I've got help to deal with the comics, I've made 3 short boxes from his desks so far, and I think I've found all the loose ones, but there's still this downstairs:
Some stuff has already been set aside to figure out what to do with it, like his collection of fountain pens and ink, I've given a shout on Messenger to the STL Pen Show in hopes that they can help me figure out what to do with those. Craft stuff I'm giving his family first dibs. Ditto for clothes, after that...
Anyone in the furry community want to help with that side of things? We've got prints around here as well as MFM memorabilia, and possibly other stuff.

The image shows a cluttered desk with various items. In the foreground, there is a stack of US dollar bills, some coins organized into small piles, and a check for $25.00 with the number 104326 visible. A wallet with a Visa card is also present. The background includes a fidget spinner, a red and white box, and some scattered papers. A black computer mouse is visible on the left side, and a trash bin is on the right. The desk has a light wood finish with drawers, and the overall scene suggests a busy workspace.

The image features a man in a suit holding a yellow cup, presumably of coffee, with steam rising from it. He is smiling and looking directly at the viewer. The background is a plain, light color, possibly beige or cream. The text in the image is in bold, black font and reads: "WHENEVER THERE'S A BIG STORY IN THE MEDIA, LOOK FOR THE STORY THEY'RE TRYING TO DISTRACT YOU FROM." The text is positioned to the right of the man, with the words aligned to the left. The overall style of the image is reminiscent of vintage advertisements or editorial cartoons.
