This striking anti-war poster by A. Kerns Design shows a fiendish caricature of Richard Nixon as he holds a map of Southeast Asia, with tanks, ships, and airplanes in North and South Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia. Published after the Cambodian incursion of 1970 and in the same year that Americans offered aerial support in the Laotian Civil War, the message is clear: Nixon is widening the war, not winding it down. And his excuse is the same one popularized by contemporary comic Flip Wilson: "The devil made me do it!" The inferno behind Nixon is surrounded by pinkish velvet, giving the poster an interesting texture. Distributed by Chicago-based Hip Products. A terrific example of counterculture persuasive cartography (black light not included).
