“I tried to capture the history of that in a simple, fresh way, and it struck me as funny to combine it with a back-to-school theme,” says McKee, a self-described political moderate who drew a red-tied Trump writing a “how I spent my summer” essay while handcuffed. “I wanted to leave his face out of it, but still caricature him in a way that would be immediately recognizable by the reader.”
