One cartoon shows a man out on a boat, asking an individual fish if he has attended an un-American school (Slide 14; 8/16/1954). Herblock is mocking the government, showing that they are so concerned

child, I always looked forward to Saturday morning cartoons. My family had the most basic cable package, which consisted of fewer than twenty channels.
