Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: Uncle Sam acts as a tour guide and shows a tourist (Knechts Public character) around Washington D.C. Public points to a giant telephone and asks Sam if thats what they call mountaineering?. Conversations of the principals in the Army-McCarthy hearings are audible through the earpiece. The Capitol building and the Washington Monument, both with faces and ears, strain to hear. The White House is also visible.
