I’m sure that in our current political situation, if elephants had a choice, they’d become donkeys, not whiny, fascist caricatures! But I always enjoy your cartoons and the thought process behind them!
Terrific and terrifying cartoon. I am so glad you incorporated the Christian Nationalism. Too many people are avoiding addressing the dangers of this movement and its ability to capture people who would never respond to evangelicalism.
I just saw this article on the BBC website (May 17, 2024) https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz74ed6yk9lo and it made me think about your post on creating a cartoon. Looks like there are some thin-skinned folks in Australia.

Rather than on the shoulder - methinks cross should be dragged. Or - shoulder pads (made of $$Bucks) cushioning the cross might be more appropriate to the current trial.
Another shot -- could be hooking the cross up to Trump's "Natural Gas" supply on the arm - and a flame jet out the bottom (at back.)
Definitely the "Elephant In The Room."
Your insights expressed through single panel drawings are the best! Thanks for sharing your thought process.
If only the hardcore MAGALOONS could be force fed your work like Alex in “A Clockwork Orange,” then maybe they could be redeemed.

I loved this walk through your creative process, and the destination ... a smart multi-layered final cartoon. Keep `em coming!
Many thanks for the historical background!

Fitz, informative discussion of your "process." Love the final product. Keep on truckin'! XO
Thanks again for your work.

Thank you so much for the wonderful link. We cartoonist love stories about our fellow cartoonists who get into trouble for doing what we do best.
You never seem to disappoint! Love it!
