But I'm Keeping this for the G.O.P.
A smiling, bespectacled man in a polka-dot bow tie, drawn as Harry Truman, holds a newspaper headed "TRUMAN TO TALK PEACE IN EUROPE NEXT MONTH..." and in his other hand raises a club lettered "GIVE-'EM-H---!" with the Capitol behind him. The cartoon contrasts the peace mission with his combative campaign slogan; name-calling is a weak fit, since the club stands for attack rhetoric rather than a label.
