Today’s plate runs with the editorial “Fantas, hot dogs and red-cap populism.” A VOTE box on the desk. A fishing rod from the window. The tag: VOTE HONESTLY $5000 USD. The flag is on the wall. The elephant is on the box.

Paco Baca draws for The Rocket News. The cartoon is his, and it runs when he files the plate. This one is filed.
