Right down to the details-look closely

IMHO this is INTENTIONAL

Thanks for putting the two side by side. The artist definitely was copying the Vietnam photo, whatever that means.

Yes...now that you put those pics up...I see it.

Problem is...a gun pointing to the president IS a threat. You see from the reaction how many didn't get it. I DIDN'T get it until I saw your post.

This creates a problem to the naive reader. This implants a message....the wrong one. Bad move by the cartoonist and editor.

The paper printed a threat to the president whether he meant to or not.
