Editorial cartoon in ink and watercolor on a rainy airport apron in Portland, Oregon, under a gray sky with snow-capped Mount Hood behind the terminal. Sen. Susan Collins stands in an airplane doorway in a blue suit, both arms up making peace signs like Richard Nixon, and a speech balloon says: Hello Portland, Maine! Below her, a crowd of puzzled Portlanders goes about its day: a man in flannel eating pizza, a hiker with a map, a person smoking a joint, a cargo-bike rider, a man in a Trail Blazers hoodie bouncing on a pogo stick, a blue-haired woman with a pint of beer, a man with a waxed mustache playing a ukulele with a dog in a rain jacket, a person in a frog costume, a Timbers fan, Darth Vader playing flaming bagpipes on a unicycle, and two people having coffee while a waitress stands over their table holding a plate with a whole roast chicken. A neon sign reads Sassy's Live Nudes and a banner reads Keep Portland Weird. Satire; the quoted line is invented.
