In 1926, he won his first Pulitzer for a drawing of a mountain of paper looming over two tiny tablets titled "The Laws of Moses and the Laws of Today"; his second came in 1955, when he showed Uncle Sam marching into a swamp in what was then French Indo-China with the caption, "How Would Another Mistake Help...

Rizzo turned I Am Furious (Purple) and denounced it as "unadulterated filth." The city council majority leader, George X. Schwartz, went further: "I call on ministers, rabbis and priests to call on their congregations to boycott this film. If this picture is continued, God knows what will come next in Philadelphia...
