I find this cartoon fascinating. I get the sense that a cartoon like this would not really have been possible in the postwar era generally.... 1950s, 1960s, 1970s. That may be naive of me. But to just assert that the president is in fact dangerously treasonous without any evidence or even instigating event.... I don't know. What do you think? Is there a difference between the "over the line" cartoons of 1975 and the "over the line" cartoons of today? Have some norms been erased?
Please remember that the purpose of Editorial Explanations is to explain and to expand knowledge, rather than to engage in any partisan bickering. All cartoonists are completely correct, in their own worlds.
