An old Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson which originally showed a bunch of businessmen in suits packed into a sardine can with someone holding a large butter knife pulling one out and making a sandwich out of them, with one of them already face down on a large slice of bread next to his briefcase and glasses, and the caption "Business lunch". This version has been generatively upscaled to reduce blurriness, adding money from another Larson cartoon poking out of the briefcase seams, colorizing the previously black ties to red and blue ties, and the caption has being changed to "Eat the Rich" were all done with good old photoshopping. "-ish" has also been added just to the right of the original artist's signature in the upper right to indicate that it has been modified from the original, but to still credit Larson as the artist of the original cartoon.
A stock image of a US passport open on a table showing the proposed design for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence commemorative edition "Patriot (Patsy) Passport" with a slight photoshop modification. Featuring an image of Donald Trump, straying from his usual thick orange makeup for makeup more appropriate for a joker like him on this special moment in history. With blue diamonds around his eyes with red dots at either end, rosy cheek circles, a red, very stern frowny mouth, and the perfect red nose for a true Clown in Chief!
