Great, Max! Thanks!  Somebody had to say it...it's quite a major cover-up, you know!

Gary Trudeau, Yale Class of 1970 and author of the Doonesbury comic strip, began his career as a college student with his strip published in the campus daily under the name Bull Tales. Yale's mascot is the Bulldog. Those comics focus on campus life: football, parties, pursuit of young ladies, campus insurrections, and the changes when Yale first went co-ed in September 1969. When Trudeau graduated and began his Doonesbury strip in the public press, it was at first largely a recyling of the original Bull Tales strips, entirely unchanged. But he did change one pair of Bull Tales comics, much in the manner of Max's strip above, and his "unstripping" completely obscures the original humor. The originals of that pair can be found at http://www.doonesbury.ucomics.com/strip/retro/yale/yale40.htmhttp://www.doonesbury.ucomics.com/strip/retro/yale/yale41.htmKeiva (Bulldog, Class of 1972)

Dear Max: It is news to me that the Attorney General reads the comics, and harder still to believe he has time to react to them, or give a damn about them.

This one may have been meant to be read by the targets. A classic piece, on the subject of tariffs levied against foreign goods to protect domestic producers. Would love to quote from it, but it's just too good to be read piecemeal. http://www.econ.duke.edu/~bancroft/154Home/Bastiat_Petition.html

This theme has been treated widely in the arena of editorial page political cartoons. The most pointed have suggested a link between covering the statue of justice with the covering of political scandal. The least political has linked the "indecency" of the statue with the indecency of the cost of covering it. See: http://cagle.slate.msn.com/news/AshcroftDrape/main.asp

Interesting how much this style of drawing (and even lettering) draws upon on Jules Feiffer.
