...British Artist Gerald Scarfe, this week's cover assignment offered an unusual challenge. TV commercials, he decided, called for something more than the exercise of his satirical pen; nor did one of his papier-maā écartoon sculptures, which had served so well for the Beatles (TIME cover, Sept. 22) and John Kenneth Galbraith (TIME cover, Feb. 16) seem quite right for this subject. Scarfe closeted himself in a New York hotel room for more than a week, watching TV day in, day out concentrating on the commercials and ignoring the programs...
...cover cartoon shows the Senator's hair parted on the left, as Ted wears it (and as John did), whereas in fact Robert parts his hair on the right. Like Alice, Robert Kennedy has gone through the looking glass, where inversion and distortion, of him as well as by him, are the only possibilities. Mr. Lichtenstein is less artist than oracle...
...after a career as an Australian cartoonist, Oliphant got the hang of U.S. politics and effectively ribbed the presidential candidates of that year for the Post.

Down in the corner of the drawing, a miniature repairman informs Punk: "This strike may not work. That machine is a scab." Oliphant admits to using this slightly puerile device to lure the comic...
...hope he is not referring to the Daily News. The News charges us with vandalism and alcoholism. (Actually we voted to bar both grass and liquor, and there was only one dissident, named Melvin.) One cartoon, titled "Dancing to the Red Tune," shows a beatnik and some sort of cave girl dancing as a band sings "Louse up the campuses, yeah, yeah, yeah...
