Mandate the Magician
I always dig it when political cartoonists use a reference to comic strips characters in their cartoons. That’s been going on since the days of the Yellow Kid. There’s a particularly great one featuring the Yellow Kid as William Randolph Hearst in Arf Museum printed from the original art.
Just ran across this one by Draper Hill for the Memphis paper The Commercial Appeal with Richard Nixon as Mandrake the Magician. They don’t call him Tricky Dick for nothing!
BTW, if you’ve got political cartoons featuring comic strip characters send ‘em in! I heartily welcome items like this or other cool things you have or ideas for Arf Lovers. Thanks!
