I still like Ike. Happy birthday, sir!

Being tethered to the archaic past is keeping us from boldly moving forward.

This is a single-panel political cartoon that visually contrasts technological advancement with political ideology.
The image shows a large, futuristic starship—specifically, the USS Enterprise from the Star Trek franchise, identifiable by its distinctive saucer section and twin warp nacelles—flying high above a landscape. The ship is drawn in a detailed, sci-fi comic book style.
The ship is tethered by a thick cable or rope to a small, wooden, covered wagon (like a pioneer's covered wagon or a prairie schooner) that is resting on a small, grassy hill. The wagon appears antiquated and is drawn in a simpler, more cartoonish style, making it look grounded and rustic in contrast to the high-tech starship.
The significant element is the text on the covered wagon. The side of the canvas cover features large, bright red capital letters that clearly spell out the acronym "MAGA" (Make America Great Again).
The overall composition suggests a contrast between the advanced, forward-looking nature of the Star Trek vessel and the outdated, slow-moving nature of the political slogan it is dragging behind it.

I guess it's because I'm a weirdo who actually LIKES spiders. Also she was on sale half-price last year.

In the movie, Denver is running low on whiskey, and orders some brought in. A Women's Temperance group is against that:
“Stand up and march to Denver
No more wine or beer
Stand up and march to Denver
No more whiskey here....” 2/2
