DescriptionTitle: Death WishArtist: Lou Erickson (Penciller) Medium: Pen and Ink Type: Original Published Editorial Cartoon Publication: The Atlanta Journal (Atlanta, Georgia) – August 8, 1972, Page 14 Description: Lou Erickson’s Death Wish delivers a darkly comic snapshot of the Democratic Party’s 1972 troubles. A figure in nothing but underwear, labeled “Democratic National Committee,” stands in a bathtub with one finger jammed into a dangling light socket — a literal and symbolic act of political self-electrocution. The caption “Another Credentials Wrangle” nods to the bruising delegate disputes that sapped the party’s strength before the general election. Erickson’s minimalist style and razor-sharp humor make the point clear: sometimes the biggest threat comes from within. Provenance: Original art published in The Atlanta Journal on August 8, 1972, verified through period archives. Social/Sharing |
