Any article from that time period of Paraguay would show Alfredo Stroessner's military strongman dictatorship and how he remained a dictator through brutality and politically playing the game to pretend he's duly re-elected for a life term.

OMG! A Ronald Searle illustration! How cool is that!� I loved Searle's work when he was illustrating Hunter S. Thompson's pieces in Rollling Stone Magazine! This one is totally awesome! Congrats x 1000!

You might be thinking of Ralph Steadman, I have a couple of pieces by him as well: https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=179873
but Searle did a lot of magazine work as well, and was the OG creator of this style which became very popular with illustrators and editorial cartoonists.
