“If at first you don’t succeed…” takes on a grotesque meaning in an execution chamber.

Bill Bramhall uses black humour to skewer the persistence of lethal injection after botched attempts. ⚖️💉 #DeathPenalty #Tennessee #EditorialCartoon #MarkFowlerTryTryAgain

A Bill Bramhall editorial cartoon shows an empty execution chamber in Tennessee. A padded gurney sits in the centre, fitted with broad leather restraints across the body and legs. Several IV tubes and syringes hang beside the bed, with loose lines trailing toward it. On the wall, a sign reads, “IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED TRY, TRY AGAIN.” A clock and the word “TENNESSEE” appear on the opposite wall. The cartoon turns the familiar motivational saying into black humour about repeated attempts to carry out executions by lethal injection, using the sterile, clinical setting to sharpen the cruelty of the joke.
