Six-panel black-and-white comic by Simpson. Panel 1, caption: "I still run into some people who think like this:" A bearded man in sunglasses with a ponytail raises a finger and says, "As liberals, we must be polite to EVERYONE and give equal credence to ALL views." Panel 2, a young man in glasses reads a paper: "Here's a piece where a right-winger is calling for the New York Times to be firebombed." The sunglasses… A 3 by 4 grid of simplified newspaper front pages with squiggle text, under the title: TYPES OF "Cancel Culture" Headlines. Headlines: "oh no the consequences of my own actions [cries]"; "I have been canceled send money"; "Jan 6th didn't happen and bringing it up is canceling me"; "Local white man: Black people voting is canceling me"; "Is "no shirt no shoes no service" canceling white people?"; "Republicans say… Two-panel black-and-white doodle of a person holding papers at a desk, like a news anchor. Left panel: "Next up we will discuss the topic with someone whose job is to be a well researched and respected expert in the area". Right panel: "And in the interest of balance we will also talk to an idiot". Signed "@twisteddoodles". A woman in sunglasses and a fur-trimmed black coat holds a white protest sign in a crowd. The sign has a blue woodcut-style illustration of a raised fist strangling a coiled snake with open fangs. Text reads: "NO KINGS" at the top and "BUT US" at the bottom. Watercolor cartoon of giant upright dominoes in a line. The first, in trans flag colors, reads "TRANS RIGHTS" and is tipping while small people strain to hold it up.

Caption: "UNITED WE STAND ★ DIVIDED WE FALL". Signed "Alfred 2024". Screenshot of a post by Joss Prior (@joss_prior) reading "Language, is a gift." Below it, a person holds a cardboard protest sign. Black paint reads: "WHY ARE YOU SO SICK AE OTHER CUNT'S GENDERS AS IF ITS ANY YER BUSINESS?" Blue paint continues: "SITTIN UP AT NIGHT PURE FOAMIN AT THE MOUTH HINKIN ABOOT OTHER FOLK'S GENITALS LIKE A FUCKING WEIRDO"
