Title
But how to let go -- gracefully / Shoemaker.
Summary
Editorial cartoon shows President Lyndon Johnson holding on for dear life to the tail of a raging tiger (labeled "Vietnam"). Shoemaker was already worrying about how to extricate the United States from the war in Vietnam in 1965. The U.S. did not manage to withdraw its troops until 1973 -- and then not gracefully. Shoemaker was editorial cartoonist for the Chicago Daily News for almost 30 years, after which he was distributed by several syndicates. In the course of his long career, he won two Pulitzer prizes.
