Week Tonight. We don't actually have a show this week, and we taped this before we went away, so I don't know what awful things have happened in the world since July 1st. Envy me, I honestly don't know.

I'm actually living in the past. The thing that you're thinking right now, I don't know yet, and it's absolute heaven. In any case, we just wanted to check in with you to present the third installment of last week tonight's Lost Graphics. Every week, our fantastic team of graphic designers creates some truly ridiculous images, many of which we end up cutting, but which still deserve to be seen by you, the internet.

For instance, There's this image of a makeup artist applying rouge to the face of a salmon, which was presumably designed to illustrate a joke, but looks a lot more like porn for people who are sexually attracted to seafood. We also created this graphic depicting a box of condoms for dogs, appropriately called Rough Riders. I don't, I honestly don't know why we made this 1, but the important thing is, on this show, dogs fuck, that's canon.

We also never got the chance to show you this picture of a journalist's squirrel. His name is obviously Edward R. Burrow because he digs deep, whether he's investigating a story or burying a little nut with his tiny, small hands.

Now, some graphics were a little more unsettling, like this image of a red panda feasting on 1 of my internal organs, something that apparently I'm delighted by. Or this graphic of Ivanka Trump as the mother from Get Out. And it looks... It looks eerily real, because it's depressingly plausible.

We also designed this pair of hockey-playing badges, which people from Wisconsin will hate because they're from Minnesota. There's also this woman in a hospital holding her newborn watermelon. And this disgruntled parrot-like creature who seems to be angry about something, which, coincidentally, was the working title of this show. Now, some of our graphics are weirdly specific, like this image of a Civil War soldier pegging a racist unicorn next to Abraham Lincoln.

There's no way to know what that means, but I think we can all agree with Abraham Lincoln that it definitely deserves a thumbs up. There's also this incredible image of Nancy Reagan sitting on the lap of Mr. T, who's dressed like Santa Claus, which, to be honest, wasn't cut from our show because it was never part of our show. That's a real photograph!

I just thought it was important to remind you, magic exists. The point is, that is all for now. We will be back as soon as we can, but in the meantime, please enjoy this baffling image of 1 of our staff members banging a cheesecake in an industrial kitchen. It's pretty embarrassing for that staff member, but at least I didn't refer to Jeremy by name.

The point is, we'll be back on HBO July 29th. Good night! -♪ 0000000000000000
