This cartoon was published digitally by The New Yorker as its “Daily Cartoon” on June 13, 2018, two days after the first meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un. It quickly went viral and was shared online by Jake Tapper of CNN, Kyle Griffin on MSNBC and Tucker Carlson of Fox News, as well as the Washington Post — outlets that don’t often agree on much.I believe in the power of cartoons and humor to remind us to lighten up and remember what we all share.
Four months later, this cartoon remains one of the most liked and commented ever on the @newyorkercartoons Instagram account.
