The caption, "Now, as I was saying four years ago," is a wry aside that sets the tone before the viewer reaches the drawing. Herbert Block, who signed his work Herblock, drew editorial cartoons for the Washington Post from 1946 until 2001, and his spare, pointed style shaped how many Americans read political commentary. Cartoons like this one usually work by pairing a familiar public situation with a knowing twist, so the words often carry the joke as much as the image does. The record calls it a vintage print, which suggests it reproduces the cartoon as it first appeared.
