Political cartoonist David Rowe was sitting up late at night in the aftermath of Donald Trump's unexpected victory in the 2016 US election.
The award-winning satirist for the Australian Financial Review was no stranger to the fickle nature of politics, but this was clearly a bigger moment than most.
"It just came to me. I thought I have got to comment on this, it was pretty historic," he said this week.
What followed was a cartoon of a sly-eyed President-elect lying in bed next to a Statue of Liberty who appears to be waking to an awful realisation.
As Rowe notes: "The eyes just got it."
The cartoon went viral, amassing thousands of likes and shares on social media, including from celebrities like pop star Rihanna.
