This week's New Yorker cover: Haunted Capitol with Boehner and Cruz as ghosts

See the cover here:

The artist's comment on it:

“Boehner and Cruz—these politicians are only after the perpetuation of their own power. There are spider webs growing in the Capitol, bats haunting it, and all this legislation that’s just dying because these guys can’t do anything. The main sign of life is that black cat. If it wasn’t so tragic, it would be worth laughing at.”
