Rick Perry “Twice the Texan” Political Cartoon - Satirical Illustration #1553224 (License: Personal Use)

This editorial cartoon by Mike Horey portrays former Texas Governor Rick Perry as a larger-than-life, stereotypical Texan, complete with ornate western shirt, cowboy hat, and belt buckle. The text highlights ironic repetitions (“twice as evangelical,” “twice as Tea Partyish”) to underscore his political branding, while a miniature figure on a rocking horse quips about Perry’s infamous 2012 gaffe. The piece blends caricature, wordplay, and regional identity to critique political performance and public memory.

Used in political news sites, opinion sections, or satire platforms to accompany articles on Rick Perry’s career, GOP identity, or campaign missteps; targets readers seeking critical, humorous takes on U.S. politics.
